Jaythan Gilder, 32, is accused of posing as a representative of an Orlando Magic player before he swiped two pairs of earrings worth $769,500 from a Tiffany & Co. in Orlando, police said.

A Florida jewelry thief swiped more than $700,000 in earrings last week and then swallowed the evidence hours before he was arrested for “what’s in my stomach,” officials said Wednesday.

Jaythan Gilder, 32, told employees at Tiffany & Co. in the Mall at Millenia at about 1:45 p.m. on Feb. 26 that he was a representative of an Orlando Magic basketball player before he was taken to a VIP room and shown several high-end pieces of jewelry, Orlando Police Detective Aaron Goss wrote in an arrest warrant.

Gilder was shown a pair of 4.86-carat diamond earrings worth $160,000, a pair of 8.19-carat diamond earrings worth $609,000 and a 5.61-carat diamond ring worth $587,000, the court document said. He then grabbed the three pieces of jewelry and struggled with employees before he dropped the ring and fled the store, according to Goss.

“As he was being taken into custody, Gilder swallowed several items,” the affidavit said.

A scan of the suspect, taken at Tek84 Intercept customer Washington County Jail, found “foreign objects in his stomach,” Goss wrote.
