A man at 203 West Aquarium Way told police he and his wife got into an argument and she got into the cash box in their van and stole $2,500 in cash. He explained that he had just done a show in Alabama and they were both in Chattanooga for him to do a show that night. He said, "All this arguing is over him taking a smoke break and not apologizing for it." He said his wife was wearing a black Carhart jacket, turquoise shirt, jeans, and gray Asics shoes. She has long brown hair with bangs. He was unsure of where she would go as their motel was at least four miles away. When asked if he wanted to press charges against his wife, he said he didn’t. He said all he would like is $400 and the change from the cash box and his wife could just keep the rest and do whatever it is she would like to do. Police drove around the area but were unable to find the wife.
