[July 20, 2011]  JACKSON, Mich. (AP) -- Authorities say a new bride arrested in Michigan on a 3-year-old warrant and briefly jailed wearing her wedding dress was picked up again after missing her day in court.

The Jackson Citizen Patriot reports 53-year-old Tammy Lee Hinton failed to appear in Jackson County District Court on Monday. The warrant was for felony identity theft charges.

The newspaper says Blackman-Leoni Township police got word she was being released from Allegiance Health hospital on Tuesday and arrested her.

Police say they believe Hinton has been living in Florida. They received two tips that she would be Michigan for Saturday's wedding.
