A medical professional was apprehended for purportedly taking merchandise valued at £2,000 from a supermarket. Lindsey Jae Minshew, aged 40, was arrested in connection with the theft at a Target store in Jacksonville, Florida, last Friday. According to an arrest report, a store employee alerted the authorities about a woman who allegedly stole goods worth “$2,716.61 [£1,960].”
Minshew, a licensed doctor in Florida since 2012, was linked to the incident. The specific items allegedly taken from the store were not disclosed by the authorities.
Following the report from the store employee, law enforcement traced a black Porsche 911 bearing Minshew’s license plate, which was observed arriving at the store approximately 30 minutes before the theft occurred. Subsequently, Minshew reported the vehicle missing a few days after the incident.
The doctor was detained at the Duval County Jail on January 23, 2026, and charged with grand theft ranging from $750 to $4,999. She was released from custody the next day.
On Minshew’s practitioner profile on the Florida Department of Health website, she is listed as a member of the medical staff at the University of Miami hospital and holds a medical license in Pennsylvania as well.
Minshew obtained a bachelor of science degree from Florida State University, pursued medical studies at the University of Utah School of Medicine, and completed professional training in internal medicine at the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Florida.
Her practitioner profile indicates no disclosed criminal offenses as of now. Minshew commenced her medical practice in 2012, and her license is valid until 2027.
Under Florida regulations, medical practitioners risk having their licenses revoked or suspended if convicted of a criminal offense.
