Joshua Rodriguez was keeping more than feet in his shoes recently.
According to an arrest warrant, the 23-year-old was stuffing his footwear with thousands of dollars worth of stolen jewelry.
According to property crimes detectives, Rodriguez was stopped by a security guard at United Parcel Service’s northeast-side warehouse on July 22. Rodriguez is a UPS employee.
Rodriguez was in line, waiting to enter the warehouse as security guards were conducting a random shoe check at the UPS facility. According to the police report, Rodriguez attempted to get out of line when he saw the random search, but guards asked him to stay in line and proceed through the security checkpoint.
The guard reportedly found 16 small bags of jewelry hidden in Rodriguez’s shoes, including gold rings, wedding rings and chains. Some individual items of jewelry were worth $4,000.
The warrant said the items were being shipped to the Kay Jewelers store at the Shops of La Cantera. Police said Rodriguez got his hands on the package en route.
UPS took the stolen property and contacted SAPD to file a police report. They told police Rodriguez was suspected in other thefts, too.
Police arrested Rodriguez on theft charges Wednesday.
He was booked into the Bexar County Detention Center on a $10,000 bond.
