NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WSMV) - An airline co-worker was arrested after he was accused of a stealing credit card from his coworker, according to an arrest report.
On Sept. 30, at about 6:23 p.m. Nashville Airport Police Officers were called to the Unifi/Spirit office for a stolen credit card.
The victim told police that he last used his credit card at 9:18 a.m. on Sept. 30. He left his wallet in his bag on the floor in the corner of the office.
