32-year-old Ashley Lott was caught after stealing from Todd Johnson while on Broadway on June 30th. On July 2nd, Johnson reported a theft that occurred on June 30th while he was out with a group of friends on Lower Broadway. Johnson reported that he did not remember anything other than meeting two women while he was out. He claimed that while walking downtown, he found all his belongings missing. Johnson informed officers that he was able to get a taxi and return to his Airbnb with his friends to make a flight home. At the time of the report, Johnson informed officers that he was missing his wallet, credit card, Alaska driver’s license, and iPhone SE. Johnson also claims there were several fraudulent charges to his bank account from that day. The total value between the stolen items and the money taken out of his account totals $10,649.24.
Johnson informed officers the last places he personally made purchases while out were Kid Rock’s and Honky Tonk Central on Broadway. He stated that he was unsure of the exact time the incident occurred. Johnson provided a photo of himself and his friends to better assist with reviewing camera footage. Officers found the footage of John and his friends. The footage shows Johnson being outside of Kid Rock’s Honky Tonk with two women in addition to his friends. The group is seen walking around Broadway, and one of the women walks away, heading west on Broadway.
Officers followed the woman through footage, showing her leaving the street camera before reappearing where multiple vehicles were parked. The other woman seen walking with Johnson and his friend also walked in the same direction. Officers located street footage near the intersection of Broadway, which showed two women parking a black Audi Q8 vehicle. The same vehicle was seen pulling off just after Johnson and the female were seen in the area. The vehicle tag is unclear in the footage, but it appears to be yellow.
Johnson was able to provide his phone records and stated that two calls were made to a Texas phone number on the morning of June 30th, around the time he met the females. Officers searched this cell phone number, and it came back to be Langhorn. Officers searched Langhorn’s Facebook, where several recent photos of her matched the characteristics of one of the women seen in the footage. Langhorn’s information also shows that she owns a black Audi Q8 with a yellow license plate.
Johnson informed his friend of the situation, and he provided Johnson with another phone number. Upon a search of this phone number, officers learned it belonged to Ashley Lott. Lott is a possible associate of Langhorn. A search of Lott’s Facebook showed that she matched the characteristics of the other woman in the camera footage. The two women are the last people to be seen with Johnson before his items went missing. Both women have arrest histories from other jurisdictions, which include prostitution and theft charges. Although they have not been arrested in Davidson County, officers are aware of theft rings that pick up intoxicated males and steal their items. A warrant was issued for Lott’s arrest, and she was later taken into custody for property theft on August 27th.
Ashley Larena Lott of Fair Cove in Memphis, TN, was booked into the Metro Nashville Jail on August 27th, charged with theft. She is free on a $15,000 bond.
