Pair Jumped Fence At Zoo, Wanted To Catch Pokemon: Police

Only bad things can happen when you sneak into a zoo.

Not the kind of catch they were hoping for.

Police in Ohio say that a pair of ambitious gamers hopped a fence at the Toledo Zoo early Thursday to play Pokemon Go, according to WTOL.

Authorities caught up with Robin Bartholomy, 25, and Adrian Crawford, 26, near the tiger exhibit.

The news outlet also pointed out a foreshadowing status on Bartholomy’s Facebook page:

This is not behavior fit for a top level Pokemon trainer.

Bartholomy and Crawford are each charged with criminal trespassing, NBC affiliate WCMH-TV reports.

While the game has taken the world by storm in the past week, some Pokemon Go players seem to be struggling with knowing where it is appropriate to play.

Here are some unwritten rules of the game: Do not play while driving. Do not play at the 9/11 Memorial or Holocaust museum. Do not play during closed hours at the zoo!
