44-year-old Barton E. Bishop of Louisville, Kentucky is now a wanted fugitive because he’s addicted to stealing ugly lawn ornaments – namely, GARDEN GNOMES!
He was arrested back in July for stealing various things, including dozens of garden gnomes. Barton never showed up in court to face his 67-counts of stolen property, so now there’s a warrant out for his arrest. Looks like the Louisville Metro Police Department is having a little fun with this one as well.
Hide your GNOMES! You remember the highlands #GnomeThief, right? Well he didn’t show up for court on his 67 charges of receiving stolen property and we need to talk to him. If you see Mr Bishop or have an idea of his whereabouts, contact us at 574-LMPD. #LMPD #HideYaGnomes pic.twitter.com/ImFJ3WDjEa
