NASHVILLE, Tenn. (Reuters) - When Claude Meadows stopped by a street party celebrating Nashville's annual "Night Out Against Crime," he helped the cause in a way he hadn't intended.
A man had reported being forced to hand over his car keys at a laundromat on Tuesday just before the citywide neighborhood parties opened. A description of the thief went out over police radios, Nashville Police Capt. Ben Dicke said.
Meadows, 34, was spotted a short time later at the block party near the laundromat helping himself to a free hamburger, Dicke said. He was charged with aggravated robbery and jailed on $50,000 bail.
The car was recovered.
