Florida Man Swallows $769,500 Diamond Earrings to Evade Arrest

The suspect, posing as a sports star's employee, stole luxury jewelry in Orlando before resorting to swallowing the evidence when apprehended.

A 32-year-old man in Orlando, Florida, posed as an employee of a professional athlete to access high-value jewelry at a Tiffany & Co. store.
The suspect stole two pairs of diamond earrings valued at $769,500, fleeing the scene in a vehicle after a store employee's attempt to stop him failed.
Police tracked down and arrested the man, who swallowed the earrings in an apparent attempt to destroy evidence just before being detained.
The suspect reportedly made incriminating remarks to officers, questioning if he could be charged based on the contents of his stomach.
He has been charged with robbery and grand theft, with authorities using X-ray imaging to confirm the location of the stolen items.
