Anaheim police arrested Jordan Fernandez, 31, in connection with the May 25 theft of an Olympic gold medal from Jordyn Poulter, the starting setter for the 2020 US Women’s Olympic Volleyball Team, authorities said.
Jordyn Poulter’s gold medal was stolen when she left it in an unlocked car in Anaheim: ‘Obviously, hindsight is 20/20.’When Poulter came back, she saw that someone had rummaged through the car and taken the black shoulder bag that held her passport.Poulter said the medal represents the culmination of her work in the sport and the sacrifices of many others in building the women’s volleyball program to a pinnacle of achievement.
“It’s not pure gold, so if you try to melt it down, it’s not going to get you very far,” Poulter said. “The inside is made of recycled computer parts and then plated. So it’s not worth much in that sense.”Anyone with information on the medal’s whereabouts is asked to call the Anaheim Police Department at 765-1900 or Orange County Crime Stoppers at TIP-OCCS.
