Gilder allegedly entered the store wearing a red hat, a red Polo-brand shirt, and very ripped blue jeans, police said. He allegedly told store staff that his name was Shawn and he was a negotiating a sale on behalf of a player on the Orlando Magic basketball team.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Gilder was brought into the store&#8217;s VIP room because of the value of the jewelry involved in the transaction, store staff told police. The merchandise included two pairs of diamond earrings and a diamond ring. The pairs of earrings are valued at $160,000 and $609,500 each, and the ring is valued at $587,000, store staff told police.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-image is-image embed--float-none embed--size-medium\"><span class=\"img embed__content\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets1.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/03\/05\/d87379e5-fe1b-451f-9904-c5d137cc824b\/thumbnail\/620x269\/760131ecc1b5a36f32773df902ae46ca\/screenshot-2025-03-05-at-9-42-00-am.png?v=63a2b43e2ef8917aa6bd547ca29dd4fa#\" alt=\"screenshot-2025-03-05-at-9-42-00-am.png \" height=\"269\" width=\"620\" class=\" lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/assets1.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/03\/05\/d87379e5-fe1b-451f-9904-c5d137cc824b\/thumbnail\/620x269\/760131ecc1b5a36f32773df902ae46ca\/screenshot-2025-03-05-at-9-42-00-am.png?v=63a2b43e2ef8917aa6bd547ca29dd4fa 1x\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg'%20viewBox%3D'0%200%20620%20269'%2F%3E\"\/><\/span><figcaption class=\"embed__caption-container\"><span class=\"embed__caption\">Jaythan Gilder in the Tiffany &amp; Co.

Gilder was able to keep possession of the earrings and get the doors open enough to escape, police said. He allegedly ran through the store and dodged other staff members.

They were able to follow the car through public safety cameras and toll records. Florida Highway Patrol was notified on the vehicle&#8217;s make, model and license plate number.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Shortly before 8 p.m. local time on Feb. 26, the highway patrol pulled over a car matching that description for a traffic violation. The driver of the car allegedly resisted the investigation and was arrested on resisting charges separate from the incident. Highway patrol officials identified the driver as Gilder. Earring forms and price tags from Tiffany &amp; Co. were found on the floor of the vehicle.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>As he was being taken into custody, Gilder allegedly swallowed several items. The highway patrol officers transporting him to jail heard him allegedly say &#8220;I should have thrown them out the window.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Gilder was then taken to Washington County Jail, where a live scan showed several foreign objects in his stomach. Police suspect the items are the Tiffany earrings he left the store with.

An official with Washington County Jail said the earrings were not recovered while Gilder was there. \u00a0Gilder is currently being held in the Orange County Jail, police told CBS News.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Gilder was charged with grand theft in the first degree, and robbery with a mask, according to court documents. Gilder was not masked at the time of the robbery, but was wearing a gauze nose covering and arm bandage, as well as a hat, and police said this &#8220;indicates by state statute&#8221; that he committed robbery with a mask, since the items were used to conceal his identity. Both are felonies.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Police said that a search of Gilder&#8217;s criminal history found he was charged in a near-identical robbery from a Tiffany &amp; Co. store in Texas in 2022. He is also being held on 48 separate &#8220;failure to appear&#8221; warrants out of the state of Colorado. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation component--type-recirculation \"\/><!-- tags --><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-author\">\n      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/team\/kerry-breen\/\" class=\"content-author__name\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Kerry Breen<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-author__bio\">\n<div class=\"content-author__full-information\">\n<p class=\"content-author__text\">Kerry Breen is a news editor at CBSNews.com.
