Additionally, he was charged with stealing a $587,000 ring that was subsequently found. CCTV captured the moment Gilder reportedly ran off, and police also said that.
A staff member was hurt while trying to stop him from leaving the business. Gilder was detained when his vehicle was pulled over on Interstate 10 in Washington County.
He was charged with resistance and had 48 outstanding Colorado warrants. After allegedly completing the heist, police think he was trying to travel to Texas.
The strangest thing, however, was that authorities were unable to locate all of the purportedly stolen jewels right away. As it happens, Gilder has been charged with ingesting part of it.
At least 13 carrats of diamonds, valued at slightly under $800,000, were purportedly found within Gilder’s stomach, according to an X-ray.
