GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Andrew Keith Woodham, 34, was arrested yesterday after allegedly telling a delivery driver he lived at an apartment and then accepting a TV that was being delivered to the apartment and walking away with the TV.
At about 3 p.m., a Gainesville Police Department officer responded to Sweetwater Square Apartments, where the victim said she had ordered a TV and a silverware set from Walmart. When she received a notification that the items had been delivered by FedEx, she asked another person to go downstairs and get the items from the driver, but that person said there was nothing there.
The victim notified FedEx, and the driver reportedly said a man had accepted the TV and said he lived at the apartment; the driver said that after accepting the TV, the man walked northbound on NE 15th Street with the TV.
Officers reportedly found Woodham at a nearby church and brought him back to the apartment complex, where Woodham reportedly said he would show the officers where he put the TV. However, after searching the location provided by Woodham, the TV was not found.
