Florida Man Swallows Diamond Earrings Worth Rs 6.7 Crore To Avoid Arrest

A 32-year-old man, Jaythan Lawrence Glider, was arrested for allegedly stealing two pairs of diamond earrings worth over $769,000 from a Tiffany & Co. store at the Mall at Millenia in Orlando on February 26. According to the Orlando Police Department, Glider took the unusual step of swallowing the stolen earrings. According to a police report obtained by WFLA, Glider allegedly gained access to the expensive jewellery at Tiffany & Co on February 26 by posing as a representative for an Orlando Magic player. This ruse reportedly allowed him to access the high-end items, which he then stole.

Here is surveillance footage shared by police:

He was taken into custody after his vehicle was stopped on Interstate 10 in Washington County. He was arrested on charges of resisting arrest, in addition to 48 outstanding warrants from Colorado. Things took a surprising turn when Glider asked the jail staff, "Am I going to be charged with what's in my stomach?"

This admission led to a body scan, which revealed foreign objects inside his digestive tract. Authorities suspect that these objects are stolen earrings, worth over $769,000 (Rs 6,68,34,694), which Glider allegedly swallowed. Law enforcement officials are now waiting for the jewellery to pass through Glider's system before officially recovering the stolen items. 

"These foreign objects are suspected to be the Tiffany & Co. earrings taken in the robbery but will need to be collected by WCSO after they are passed through Gilder's system before confirming," reads the arrest report.

As it turns out, swallowing small objects like earrings can be relatively harmless, but it's not without risks. According to medical experts, if the object is less than 1 inch in diameter or less than 2 inches in length, it will likely pass through the intestine without causing any problems. 

Glider has a history of legal troubles, with 48 outstanding warrants issued against him in Colorado. Notably, he was also charged with robbing a Tiffany & Co. store in Texas in 2022. Following his recent arrest, Glider faces charges of first-degree grand theft and robbery with a mask.

It's Official, Kamala Harris Is Democratic Candidate For US Election

US Vice President Kamala Harris effectively secured the Democratic party's presidential nomination Friday, confirming her remarkable rise to party standard bearer in November's showdown against Republican Donald Trump. Kamala Harris was the sole candidate on the ballot for a five-day electronic vote of nearly 4,000 party convention delegates. She will be officially crowned at a Chicago convention later this month. "I am honored to be the presumptive Democratic nominee for President of the United States," Kamala Harris, 59, said on a phone-in to a party celebration after securing enough votes by the second day of the marathon vote. In the two weeks since President Joe Biden ended his reelection bid, Kamala Harris has gained full control of the party. No other Democrats stepped forward to challenge her elevation to the top of the ticket, making her confirmation as the first Black and South Asian woman ever to secure a major party's nomination a formality.

Muhammad Now The Most Popular Name For A Baby In Great Britain, Data Shows

427 years after William Shakespeare wrote it for the first time in the great "tragedy" Romeo & Juliet, England is asking the quintessential question - "What's in a name?" - And this time wondering what significance that question might hold in another 42.7 years. The Department of Statistics in the United Kingdom has revealed in its latest dataset that Muhammad is officially the most popular name for a newborn boy in England and Wales. More than 4,600 babies were registered with that name in 2023 - the highest for a boy. Muhammad was the second-most popular name in 2022 as well.

US Issues $25-Million Bounty On Venezuela President On Day Of His Oath

Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, whose nearly 12 years in office have been marked by deep economic and social crisis, was sworn in for a third term on Friday, despite a six-month-long election dispute, international calls for him to stand aside and an increase in the US reward offered for his capture. Maduro, president since 2013, was declared the winner of July's election by both Venezuela's electoral authority and top court, though detailed tallies confirming his victory have never been published. Venezuela's opposition says ballot box-level tallies show a landslide win for its former candidate Edmundo Gonzalez, who is recognized as president-elect by several countries including the United States. International election observers said the vote was not democratic. The months since the election have seen Gonzalez's flight to Spain in September, his ally Maria Corina Machado going into hiding in Venezuela, and the detentions of high-profile opposition figures and ...
