SEVIERVILLE (WATE) -- A Campbell County couple was arrested on their wedding night and charged with burglarizing the chapel where they were married.

According to a police report, a resort worker noticed the couple's car back outside the chapel around 1:00 a.m.

After the car left, the worker found the chapel had been burglarized and a lockbox with cash was missing.

Sevier County sheriff's deputies found Dykes and McGhee at a Pigeon Forge restaurant.

The sheriff's department said the couple confessed and turned over a lockbox with nearly $500.

The couple is being held in the Sevier County Jail on bonds of $10,000 each.
