At the store, an employee told police that a man who appeared
intoxicated walked into the store just after midnight, grabbed a
mannequin just inside the door adorned with lingerie and took it outside
into the parking lot.
In the process, the affidavit continues, the man knocked the mannequin's
left arm off.
The employee said she walked into the parking lot and argued with the man for several minutes until he put the mannequin into the bed of a white Toyota Tacoma and drove away. The employee, the warrant continues, told police the mannequin was valued at $5,000, not including the merchandise it wore. Using the truck's license plate, police learned the vehicle was registered to a woman who lives at a retirement community in Old Hickory.
When police visited the woman's home, the warrant states, she told officers a man named Christopher Wade was inside her house. Officers found Wade, 55, in bed with the stolen mannequin which was missing its left arm and wearing the merchandise it was last seen in. Wade also matched a suspect description given by the store employee. Wade, who had an active warrant, was arrested on charges including theft. He was booked into the Metro jail where he remains incarcerated on $11,000.
