Alabama Woman's Jeep Stolen At Hartsfield-Jackson

-

ATLANTA - An Alabama woman says she wants answers after she claims her jeep was stolen while parked at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. 


It was a rough landing for Cherylia Garrett as she returned from sunny Cancun earlier this week. "I'm devastated. I'm going to be honest with you. I'm very devastated," Cherylia Scott Garrett said. The Alabama resident was returning with her boyfriend and says she simply went to get her jeep from the south domestic parking deck. "I walked around, thought I was in the wrong place, and during walking around, approximately two hours," Garrett said.  They were certain the jeep was parked in section F23. Garrett says they tried pressing the emergency buttons for help but had no luck. They then called 911. Eventually, they went to the information desk. "We were telling the people we were looking for my auto and that we couldn't find it. At that time, we were told my auto had been stolen, and we were frantic at that point," Garrett said. 

Several other vehicles stolen from Atlanta's airport. When Atlanta Police officers arrived, they came with more bad news. "At that time, we were told this has been an ongoing thing and that day, in particular, four autos that had been taken," Garrett said. Garrett says she wants her car back, but she also wants to sound the alarm.  "I hope that this will help other people because, like I said, I'm devastated," Garrett said. "I was thinking that I was parking my automobile in a place that had surveillance and secured and, unfortunately, I've learned that it's not."

FOX 5 reached out to Atlanta police and airport officials for comment and are waiting to hear back.

There is a buzz around Hartsfield Jackson Airport regarding the whereabouts of Deputy General Manager Jaimeka "Jai Ferrell".  She has not been seen since December 8 when she hosted an offsite Christmas party for her entire team paid for by the City of Atlanta. The General Manager Balram Bheodari has stated it was a temporary management change. There are rumblings that Jai Ferrell is scheduling meetings with her network trying to secure a new job to save face because "allegedly' due to her mismanagement she will be out of work soon. Jaimeka Ferrell started a Coffee and Conversations tour after she received a heads up that her termination was imminent based on an investigation. Is she misusing FMLA and will FMLA hours be donated to her to make sure she gets paid while searching frantically for a new job?  It would not be the first time FMLA has been misused by a City of Atlanta employee.   What will become of all of the "Ferrell" followers that she employs to

  Jaimeka "Jai" Ferrell A previous post discussed Jaimeka "Jai" Ferrell being noticeably absent from Hartsfield Jackson for over one month. There are many stories floating around about her departure, however no official statement has been released. Reporters are allegedly instructed by Communications Manager Andy Gobeil prior to any press events not to inquire about Deputy General Manger Jaimeka Ferrell and to stick to the subject matter. Her updated website name change (from FlywithJai to JaiFerrell.com ) shows that she is distancing herself from her role at Hartsfield Jackson Airport which can be a clear indication that Jaimeka Ferrell is attempting to secure a new role and save face before imminent termination. There will be additional information on the "why" soon.  Outside of the City of Atlanta, where can you misuse FMLA while attempting to secure another job?  If the termination or corrective action was being initiated prior to FMLA then there is no
