A Blushing Bride in her...Mugshot?
A Bride Was Arrested on a Felony Warrant at Her Wedding Reception . . . and You Have to See Her Mugshot
A 53-year-old woman named Tammy Lee Hinton got married on Saturday in Jackson, Michigan (--about 40 miles west of Ann Arbor. We don't know the groom's name.) The ceremony went off without a hitch. The reception . . . not-so-much.
--Tammy Lee was wanted on a 3-year-old felony warrant for identity theft, but her trail had gone cold, and investigators thought she'd moved to Florida.
--Then they got a decent tip that she'd be in town to get married on Saturday. They debated whether or not to bust her on her wedding day . . . AT her wedding . . . and ultimately decided it was the only way to make sure they nailed her.
--So around 1:00 P.M. on Saturday, they headed to the church, waited for the ceremony to end, then went inside and confronted her.
--Tammy acted surprised, and the cops even let her pose for photographs and take care of stuff inside the church. But they still arrested her . . . took her to jail . . . booked her . . . and took a mugshot.
--They even gave her the option of changing her clothes, but Tammy declined. She even kept her veil on for the mugshot. Classic. The whole process only took 25 minutes, and her husband picked her up.
--Then she failed to appear in court on Monday, so they hauled her back in yesterday.
--The cops took some heat for making the bust right after the vows, but according to Public Safety Officer Rick Gillespie, quote, "We can't ignore it when we have good information . . . We had to do what we had to do." Damn straight.
