Ohio police have nabbed the brazen thief they say made off with a rare butterfly from an Ohio botanical garden exhibit two weeks ago.
Cincinnati police charged pink-haired Jamie Revis, 36, of Springfield Township, Ohio, with the theft Friday. She was arrested hours after police released her photo and appealed for public assistance in finding her.
Revis was caught on video stealing the Blue Morpho African Butterfly on April 15 from the Krohn Conservatory in Cincinnati, Fox 19 Cincinnati reported Friday.
