JACKSON, Mich. (AP) — Police say a Michigan bride — still in her wedding dress — was arrested on a felony warrant and briefly jailed after exchanging vows at a Jackson-area church.

The Jackson Citizen Patriot reports the 53-year-old woman, whose name wasn't immediately released, was wanted on a 3-year-old warrant for identity theft.

Blackman-Leoni Township Public Safety Officer Rick Gillespie says police believed the woman had moved to Florida, but they got tips that she would be back in town for Saturday's wedding. She was arrested at City of Zion Ministries just after the ceremony.

Gillespie says the woman was held for less than about 30 minutes before being picked up by her husband.

Gillespie says officers gave her the chance to change clothes before she was taken to jail, but she declined.
