A Jacksonville physician was taken into custody after a local store reported thousands of dollars in missing merchandise. Authorities say the case centers on a haul valued at $2,700 and has prompted several local outlets to report on the arrest and charges.
How the allegation came to light
The police response began after a store employee reported seeing a customer leave with a large quantity of unpaid items, a tip that set detectives onto the matter and eventually led to an arrest.

Local coverage emphasized the scale of the loss and the straightforward path from employee report to booking, noting the precise amount involved, $2,700 in merchandise.

The narrative offered by staff placed the loss squarely at a specific store location and tied the complaint to observed behavior inside the retail space, which staff described to officers after the incident.
Public posts and neighborhood chatter identified the scene as Target’s River City Drive location, and online posts circulated images and commentary about the incident’s footprint in the community, with a local post explicitly naming River City Drive.
