Lorraine Luckett, 36, has been booked into jail in Nashville on 10 theft and fraud charges. Metro Nashville Police say she targeted intoxicated men at downtown bars during several trips to the city dating back to 2024.
Luckett was arrested in Wisconsin last week. Authorities have now linked her to an additional theft in which she allegedly posed as a rideshare driver to steal a victim's phone and bank card.
An arrest affidavit details the June 22 incident. The victim told police he was dropped off at a gas station on West End Avenue in the early morning hours by a woman he believed was his driver. He realized his phone and card were missing several hours later.
The victim checked his bank statement and found his card had been used to withdraw $980 from a Wells Fargo drive-through ATM located next to the gas station. Metro Police said surveillance video identified Luckett's car and showed her using the ATM at the time of the withdrawals.
Luckett has been returned to Nashville to face the charges. State legislators passed a law last year making it a crime to pose as a rideshare driver. Luckett has not yet been charged under that specific statute.
