BRIDE TAMMI LEE HINTON BUSTED ON WEDDING DAY

TILL BUST DO US PART
IT should have been the happiest day of her life, but instead she spent at least some of it behind bars after she was arrested minutes after walking down the aisle.  Tammy Lee Hinton had just exchanged vows at a Jackson, MI church, when officers swooped, busting her on a three-year-old warrant for identity theft.  Blackman-Leoni Township Public Safety Officer Rick Gillespie told MLive that they believed the woman had moved to Florida, but they got tips that she would be back in town for the wedding.
He added that officers had discussed whether to arrest the woman on her wedding day, but felt like they were out of options.
He said: "We can’t ignore it when we have good information on where she’s going to be. We had to do what we had to do.
"She was kind of shocked at first because according to her, she had no idea what this was about."
Hinton was allowed to pose for last minute photographs before she was arrested at City of Zion Ministries at approximately 1pm - just after the ceremony. 
Officers said Hinton was held for less than 30 minutes before being picked up by her husband, whose name has not yet been released.
She was later freed on bond.
It's thought the couple continued to the reception. Police could not offer more detail on the case, which is still pending.
