Undercover detectives with the Metro Nashville Police Department pre-recorded the serial numbers on the $40 in cash they handed to 50-year-old Shannon Jefferson in downtown Nashville. The agreement was Jefferson would sell them $40 worth of cocaine. They say Jefferson left to go get the cocaine, and as he moved further away from the area, he turned his shirt inside-out to change his appearance and left the area with no plans of returning with his free money. Officers eventually caught up with him and changed him with theft.
Shannon Kodell Jefferson of Lafayette St in Nashville, TN, was booked into the Metro Nashville Jail on March 6th, charged with theft. A judicial commissioner set his bond at $100.
