A woman accused of targeting intoxicated men in a Nashville theft scheme was arrested in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, according to the Metro Nashville Police Department. Luckett, 36, of Wisconsin, was wanted on 10 warrants for identity theft, credit card fraud, and theft of property. The charges stem from three incidents in 2024 where men had their wallets stolen by a woman. In two of these incidents, Luckett was seen driving the same Hyundai Santa Fe with Wisconsin tags. Surveillance footage from bank ATMs and stores helped build the case against her. She is expected to be returned to Nashville soon.

MNPD said this is one of several ongoing investigations into women targeting intoxicated men, as thefts of this nature are a crime of opportunity. Luckett is accused of targeting intoxicated men to steal from them, and she is described as a 'persistent thief.' The investigation was led by the Entertainment District Unit and Warrants Division of the Metro Nashville Police Department.
