$92K Worth Of Stolen Diamonds Leads To Prison Sentence For 64-Year-Old: HoCo Prosecutor

HOWARD COUNTY, MD — A 64-year-old Baltimore man has been sentenced for his role in the robbery of an Easton jewelry store where an estimated $92,000 worth of diamonds were stolen.

On March 5, 2022, Ondray Michael Gwynn went into Shearer the Jeweler and stole the diamonds. He conspired with four other men who distracted store employees while he snuck into the back of the store. He found two boxes of loose diamonds in a safe and stole those, then all of the men fled the scene, according to court documents.

Police were able to analyze surveillance footage video from inside of the store, video footage from the surrounding areas in Easton, items seized pursuant to search warrants, as well as cell tower phone records to identify Gwynn.

Gwynn was found guilty by a Talbot County jury in early September on the following charges: theft $25,000 to under $100,000 and conspiracy-theft $25,000 to under $100,000. He has been sentenced to 20 years suspend all but 10 years in prison. The case was prosecuted by Howard County's Senior Assistant State’s Attorney Reva Chopra at the request of the Talbot County Office of the State’s Attorney.
