GERING, Neb.(AP) - Instead of a wedding ring, one Nebraska bride
found herself in handcuffs.
Scotts Bluff County deputies arrested 31-year-old Dianne Carnes
on Tuesday afternoon, just after her courthouse wedding was to have
started.
Her offense? Officials say a day earlier, Carnes threatened a
woman who served on the jury of her trial. Prosecutors say Carnes
was caught driving last year while her license was suspended for a
drunken driving conviction. Carnes was found guilty of driving
under suspension Monday.
Officials say an arrest warrant was issued Monday for Carnes
after she threatened the juror.
Meanwhile, Carnes had called a county clerk to schedule her
wedding for the next day, and was arrested in front of her wedding
party when she showed up for the ceremony.
