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.
