GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Kadyn Jerome Anderson, 18, and Randy Campbell Jr., 18, were arrested after police said they stole a wallet from a vehicle in a downtown Gainesville parking garage. Anderson, who was reportedly staying in the 11th-floor common and study area at The Standard, is also facing similar allegations tied to a second vehicle burglary and the theft of a wallet from the pool area at The Standard.
First car burglary
The first reported car burglary happened on September 3, after the victim parked her vehicle in the downtown parking garage at 220 SE 2nd Avenue. When she returned, she discovered her wallet was missing. Soon afterward, she received an alert that one of her cards had been used fraudulently at Kava Gator Coffee. She went to the business, where an employee pointed out two Black males who had purchased a brownie. The victim reportedly followed the suspects and took a photo of them.
Roughly 15 minutes later, the victim received another notification showing that someone had tried to use her card at Smokeville Tap and Lounge, located at 1122 W. University Avenue. Both attempted transactions were declined. A Gainesville Police Department officer later reviewed surveillance footage from the lounge and reported that the two males who attempted to use the card appeared to be the same people the victim had photographed earlier.
Gainesville Police Department officers identified the suspects as Anderson and Campbell, citing prior interactions with them.
Second car burglary
On the evening of September 3, the second victim parked her car outside her residence at a redacted location, and the next morning, she found that her wallet had been stolen from the car. She checked her accounts and found that her cards had been used for transactions at Starbucks ($6.40), Wawa ($5.75 and $37.60), Krispy Kreme ($9.98), and McDonald’s ($16.44 and $2.44).
Surveillance video from Krispy Kreme reportedly showed Anderson making the fraudulent purchase, and he was also reportedly shown making a fraudulent purchase at Wawa.
Wallet theft at The Standard’s pool
At about 3 p.m. on September 6, the third victim left his wallet on a table while he went into the rooftop pool at The Standard (1360 W. University Avenue), and about an hour later, he received a notification that his card had been used at Smokeville ($61.57 and $7.49); he then discovered that his wallet had been stolen.
A GPD detective reviewed surveillance video from the pool deck at The Standard and saw Anderson hanging around the pool deck with an unidentified black male. At 3:11 p.m., the video shows the two males walking past the table where the wallet had been placed, and Anderson can be seen reaching down toward the table. At about 3:30 p.m., the two males went down to the ground floor of the building.
Surveillance video at Smokeville reportedly shows Anderson and the other black male attempting to make a purchase for $64.00 with one of the stolen cards; management reportedly told the detective that the card would only authorize for $61.57, so the employee paid the rest out of his own pocket. The two suspects then tried to purchase rolling papers for $7.49 with the third victim’s card, but the card was declined, and Anderson reportedly became angry and yelled at the employee before leaving the store.
While the detective was at The Standard, management told him that Anderson had been living in the 11th-floor common/study area, and they provided videos of Anderson inside the building. The manager said Anderson is not a resident of the building, does not know any residents, and comes into the building after hours.
Charges and bail
Anderson has been charged with three counts of possession of a stolen credit/debit card, two counts of burglary of an unoccupied vehicle, three counts of fraudulent use of a credit/debit card, and three counts of theft. He has a juvenile criminal history from 2019 to 2026, and he is facing juvenile charges of burglary and property damage in St. Johns County. Judge Joy Danne set bail at $87,500.
Campbell was also booked on charges of domestic battery, false imprisonment, and felony property damage related to a July incident; he has been charged with burglary of an unoccupied vehicle, possession of a stolen credit/debit card, fraudulent use of a credit/debit card, and theft for the September 3 incident. A third case with charges of burglary of an unoccupied vehicle and theft is listed in the court system, but no documents have been added to that case yet. Judge Joy Danne set bail at $182,500 on the July and September charges.
