Bartholomew County deputies made an arrest this week in a theft case going back to last spring.

The Bartholomew County Humane Society reported a theft of more than $1,000 from their animal adoption fees last May. The suspect, 23 year old Brittany Hooper of Scipio, is a former employee. She was arrested on Monday at a home on Mimosa Drive in Columbus on a preliminary charge of theft, says Judy Jackson, spokeswoman for the sheriff’s department.
