LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WHAS11) – LMPD has captured the Botanical Bandit, Barton Bishop, after he missed a recent court date.
Police received a tip that Bishop was hiding in the attic of a building on Winston Ave. and he was arrested.
According to police, Bishop was injured when he fell from the attic.
A warrant was issued for Bishop earlier this week after he missed a court appearance on his 67 charges of receiving stolen property.
Bishop was first arrested in July and charged with stealing items in the Highlands, including garden gnomes, plants, and outdoor furniture. Those items were eventually recovered by police.
Police say Bishop will likely face additional charges.
