Bride Busted On Her Wedding Day

DETROIT (WWJ/CBS) - A Michigan bride is busted on her wedding day ... possibly taking the phrase 'something borrowed' a bit too literally.

Police told WWJ that the woman was wanted on a three-year old felony warrant for identity theft and police believed that she had moved to Florida.

Tips came in from people in the area that the woman would be returning to the Jackson area for her wedding on Saturday... so along with the groom and  guests, police waited at the church for the bride.

As soon as the couple said their vows, the bride was arrested by a Blackman Township police officer. Police let the couple take their wedding pictures and offered to let her change out of her gown before being brought to the police station to be booked - she declined the offer and was booked in her wedding gown.

The new bride was picked up from the police station by her husband after posting bond.

The woman was to appear in court on Monday but failed to show stated Blackman Township police, which could lead to further charges against the newlywed.
