MEMPHIS, Tenn. (WMC) - Memphis police arrested a man they say stole a woman’s car and tried to sell it back to her.
The woman reported her 2012 Infiniti stolen from The Indigo Hotel on B.B. King Boulevard on May 23.

The man told her she could have her car returned for $3,000.
She asked for proof that he had her car and set up a time and place to buy it back.
She then informed police, who showed up to the meeting and took the man into custody.
