Ungrateful mugger stole jewellery then returned to victim complaining that it was fake

A man accused of snatching jewellery from a tourist in Miami Beach, Florida, then becoming angry over the quality of the merchandise has been arrested.

Daniel Sion Palmer, 26, has been charged with armed robbery, fleeing and eluding, reckless driving and possession of a suspended licence, police said.



The incident happened on South Beach at about 3am on Thursday when Palmer allegedly pointed a gun at a man from New York, grabbed his gold chain and then took off. Police say Palmer apparently was not satisfied with his freshly stolen jewellery, and so he approached the victim again a block away just so he could tell him the jewellery was fake.

"That was a brazen move and because of that he was able to be apprehended," Det. Ernesto Rodriguez said. The victim was able to flag police down and point out Palmer, who was now driving a Mercedes. Investigators say he sped away, disregarding the police officers who had turned on their lights and sirens. He was caught shortly after.
