JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office said a man who confessed to sexually assaulting women at a Southside apartment complex is facing an additional theft charge after investigators linked him to a stolen package captured on a resident’s Ring camera.

Brett Pincomb, 31, was charged with petit theft after a JSO officer confirmed his identity from a doorbell-camera photo, according to a police report. Residents told News4JAX the package thefts happened repeatedly, with dozens of deliveries disappearing over time.

In the report, the victim said she watched video showing a FedEx driver leaving a package at her door. After the driver left, an unknown man returned, picked up the package and walked away.

One resident, who asked not to be identified, said neighbors saw Pincomb on doorbell cameras walking the hallways and looking for deliveries. Another resident, Denise Fittje, said it was “alarming and very concerning” to live near someone accused of that behavior.

Pincomb was arrested May 21 in connection with the sexual assault investigation. Police say he later confessed to sexually assaulting at least four women at the complex. Court records show he is expected to appear before a judge next week on both the sexual assault and theft charges.
