A Nashville man and woman, accused of robbing two businesses at gunpoint, have been arrested.
John T. Harris, 43, and Samira Bostic, 25, were taken into custody without incident at the Safari Inn Monday night, Nov. 2. Bostic and Harris face two counts of aggravated robbery. Harris has an additional charge of possession of a handgun by a convicted felon.
Harris and Bostic are suspects in the robbery of a clerk at the Boost Mobile store, 212-C Memorial Blvd., Friday, Oct. 30. The couple was in the store about an hour before the robbery pretending to be shopping for phones. They left and claimed they would be back to make a purchase. Instead, they returned and robbed the business at gunpoint.

Harris remains behind bars at the Rutherford County Adult Detention Center on a $28,000 bond. He has a hearing set for Jan. 7 in Rutherford County General Sessions Court. Bostic was released on a $1,500 bond and scheduled to appear in court on Jan. 27.
