Ohio Couple Playing Pokemon Go Arrested Near Tiger Cage at Toledo Zoo
Pokemon Go leads couple to the Lucas County jail after chasing Pokemon characters at the zoo after hours.
"Gotta catch em' all!" is probably what the Toledo police were saying when they arrested Pokemon Go players Robin Bartholomy, 25 and Adrian Crawford, 26 for criminal trespass near the tiger cage at the Toledo Zoo.
The Toledo Blade reports that the couple was spotted on a security camera and “did knowingly jump the fence... and walk through the property to play Pokemon,” around 2:30 a.m. according to affidavits filed at the court.
Bartholomy and Crawford were booked into the Lucas County jail and released on their own recognizance, with arraignment scheduled for Friday.
