The arrest was made after the cops recieved a tip off following a Facebook posting by Jarvis' girlfriend. WCAX-TV reported that the man was charged with stealing a white gold solitaire ring worth USD 3,200 which he took off with from a jewelry store in the Burlington Town Center Mall, where he was looking at jewelry for about an hour. Officer Jesse Stewart said that Jarvis proposed to his girlfriend, who shared the news on Facebook, included a picture of the ring.u00a0
This prompted some of her friends call police, as they realised it matched the stolen ring they'd seen on the news. Burlington Police say Jarvis' girlfriend was wearing the stolen ring when they came question the couple.u00a0
However, they don't think the woman was aware that the ring was stolen and thus don't plan to file criminal charges against her. They claim Jarvis who faces felony charges, has confessed and is was unclear whether he has a lawyer.
