TPD's Real Time Information Center was alerted by a Flock Safety Camera about the stolen white Jeep at Admiral and Darlington. Officers pulled the car over near Admiral and Sheridan.
The driver, Angela Harrison, told officers she was at a gas station an hour before when she ran into a former customer from when she worked at Waffle House.
