Police say she was arrested on a 3-year-old warrant for identity theft, booked and released after less than about 30 minutes. The Jackson Citizen Patriot reports Hinton was scheduled to appear Monday, July 18, 2011, in Jackson County District Court, but she missed the court date.

There goes the bride – to jail

According to the Jackson Citizen Patriot of Jackson, Michigan: The local police department had received tip about her impeding nuptials and discussed whether or not they should arrest her on her wedding day. Blackman-Leoni Township Public Safety Officer Rick Gillespie told the paper, “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.”

More on her arrest from the Jackson Citizen Patriot. Apparently she missed her court date on Monday and faces being arrested again.

Update: Apparently she was arrested again for missing her court date.
