Orange Park arrests man following shoplifting sprees

CLAY COUNTY – A man suspected of a rash of shoplifting sprees was sent to the Clay County Jail on July 25 after video surveillance showed his walking out of stores with carts filled with tools.

Reginald Tyronne Keel, 54, of Orange Park, now faces a charge of coordinating with others to shoplift, shoplifting and grand theft after he was connected to at least three robberies.

The Clay County Sheriff’s Office charged him with taking $422 worth of tools from The Home Depot on Wells Road on June 22. Then on June 20, the sheriff’s office said Keel was seen entering The Home Depot in Middleburg, loading a $599 Universal Storage Box onto a flat cart and leaving with it without paying.

A witness took a picture of Keel and his truck. That same truck was involved in the June 16 theft of a $36,700 stump grinder from AgPro in Middleburg a day later, CCSO said.

Deputies showed Keel a video of both thefts, and he admitted it was him, saying, “If the video shows it, then I guess I did it.”

Keel also faces warrants in Duval County.

The total bond for Keel was set at $60,005.
