NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) – A man was arrested after he allegedly flew into Nashville International Airport Friday with 23 pounds of marijuana in his luggage. A K-9 alerted airport police to the bag on a flight arriving from Phoenix, Arizona around 2:30 p.m. Airport authorities allowed the bag to process through baggage claim, which is when Metro police reported 29-year-old Dionne Singleton picked up the bag and began to walk away.
