44-year-old Chiu Fu Sheng was taken into custody for theft on June 20th. On May 1st, Kay Jackson went to the Family Safety Center and reported stolen property from Alan Anderson’s, her brother’s home and vehicle. Jackson stated that on January 28th, around 5:36 p.m., she told officers that Anderson had a seizure and could not speak to them. Then, Jackson said she and Lewis Johnson, the property owner, were at Anderson’s apartment. When they returned, a metal box that contained five property deeds and at least six vehicle titles had been removed from the drawer. She told them that, to her knowledge, Johnson was the only person with a spare key to the unit and that neighbors had seen Sheng leaving the premises after the theft occurred. Jackson informed officers that Anderson left two motorcycles with Sheng at a Clarksville storage building. Then, Jackson said Anderson told her he had $20,000 inside a pouch in his Mercedes, but when she searched for it, she could not find it, adding that his car appeared to have been rummaged through.
Officers then spoke with Johnson over the phone about the incident. Johnson told them that when he arrived at the apartment, everything seemed in place, but after returning on January 28th, around 4:20 p.m., he saw drawers and doors that were not opened when he left. He also stated he did not believe Sheng had a key to the unit. Jackson informed police that Anderson had the locks changed and cameras installed following the occurrence. Jackson added that she told Johnson to stay out of Anderson’s apartment, which he agreed with. A day later, Jackson caught Johnson under surveillance going through her brother’s items and provided officers with the footage. Jackson advised officers she wanted Johnson to return Anderson’s motorcycle jacket and 43X pistol. On April 24th, the police called Johnson about the missing property, and he told them he had returned the things he had stolen and that he did not know about the jacket or pistol. Jackson also stated that the neighbor told her that Sheng was at the apartment on the day the things were stolen. Jackson said she sent a certified letter through her attorney to Sheng asking for the items back. Sheng returned some of the missing things, including one pistol and four holsters. During a phone call, Sheng told officers she had returned all the stolen items from Anderson to Jackson. A warrant was issued for Sheng’s arrest, and she was later detained.
Chiu Fu Sheng of Creek Stone Drive in Clarksville, TN, was booked into the Metro Nashville Jail on June 20th, charged with theft. A judicial commissioner set her bond at $1,500, and the Davidson County Sheriff’s Office gave her pre-trial release from their facility.
