The driver of the vehicle, Angela Harrison, claimed she was at a gas station just an hour before.
Ms. Harrison said she ran into a former customer of hers when she worked at Waffle House, and he gave her $10 cash and the white Jeep Liberty because her 53rd birthday was coming up in a few weeks.
However, the Jeep was reported stolen before Christmas, and on January 14th, detectives were able to obtain a surveillance photo depicting Angela Harrison driving the car.
Harrison claimed to be the woman in the picture, but she was unable to explain how she obtained the car in January, given that it had only been given to her an hour earlier.
