MIRAMAR, Fla. (CBS12) \u2014 A South Florida stylist accused of stealing more than $270,000 worth of luxury handbags from an influencer was arrested Friday, days after police mistakenly arrested a different man.<\/p>\n
Shaquille Palmer<\/a> was taken into custody late Friday on a felony grand theft charge, according to Miramar police and reporting from WSVN<\/a>.<\/p>\n WSVN cameras captured Palmer in handcuffs as officers prepared to put him into a patrol car. Asked if he stole the handbags, Palmer smiled and winked at the cameras but did not comment.<\/p>\n Palmer’s arrest comes after the Miramar Police Department<\/a> acknowledged they had arrested the wrong man earlier in the week. Shaquille Grant was arrested Wednesday after police say Palmer provided officers with his first name but intentionally gave them a false last name.<\/p>\n Grant reportedly appeared in court Thursday and told the judge through his attorney that he knew nothing about the case. Police later determined Grant was not connected to the theft and arranged for his release from the Broward County Jail.<\/p>\n Miramar Police Chief Delrish Moss<\/a> said the error stemmed from a \u201cNot in Custody\u201d form that contained Grant’s name instead of Palmer’s.<\/p>\n See also: South Florida connection emerges in reopened ‘Cornell 7\u2019 case<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cObviously there was a mistake made,\u201d Moss said, according to WSVN<\/a>. \u201cWe are trying to figure out how the mistake was made.\u201d<\/p>\n The original theft was reported by Miramar-based social media influencer Dr. Stormy Wellington<\/a>, who said that her stylist, a self-described fashion designer with over 85,000 Instagram<\/a> followers, stole five Hermes purses and a Chanel water bottle from her home in August.<\/p>\n Wellington said she was upset after learning an innocent man had been arrested.<\/p>\n \u201cThe wrong person was arrested unfortunately,\u201d Wellington told WSVN<\/a>. \u201cMy heart goes out to him.\u201d<\/p>\n After seeing images of Palmer in custody, Wellington said she recognized him as the man she believes stole her belongings.<\/p>\n
