We all care about groups in our community that use donations and volunteers to help get by.

That's why we want to let you know about the theft of a donation jar, right under the nose of a worker at the Williamson County Animal Center.

I talk with the police in the player above.

Police say surveillance video showed the suspect identified as Victoria Jade Hughes, 29, of Franklin, who allegedly stole those donations right from a box at the front desk.

Police said Hughes now has a warrant out for her arrest and police in Nashville are looking for her for skipping out on a court date.

Police say they don't know how much was in the box — probably no more than $200. But for a place where every dollar counts, police said they want to see Hughes brought to justice.

You'll love her and you'll love to hate her! Meet Trashley: the bad girl of Nashville littering. She stars in a new campaign that's a throwback to an anti-litter movement from years past. Her role has been reimagined by NDOT as a fast-paced, Dukes of Hazzard-style wrecking ball of a lady. You'll find yourself cracking up as you meet the actress behind Trashley and hear how she landed the role of Queen of Trash.
