Glider was then caught up later that day by police officers and they saw, Glider swallowing several objects, which were believed to be stolen earrings. Glider attempted to steal two pairs of earrings and a ring, however the ring supposedly dropped as he flew the store.  

Police officials also released an X-Ray, showing an individual’s abdomen with a foreign object inside. The police officials have not yet stated that if they had retrieved the jewellery. However, they shed light that Glider has also stolen from Tiffany and Co before in 2022 from their store in Texas.

Reacting to the news on social media, netizens pointed out their concern as one of them named Bill Noble wrote, “Don't, allow him to pass these out, keep him incarcerated, gives a new perspective on "Breakfast at Tiffany's"!!” 

Another user named Max Santiego wrote, “Anytime you go to a store you want to try the product before buying. The problem in this case is he wanted to taste it and forgot to pay.”  

“He's going to need deep colonoscopy for that and disinfectant Lysol for those earrings,” wrote another user named Aisha Charmalique on Facebook.
