Adrian Crawford, 26, and Robin Bartholomy, 25, both of Toledo, were approached by Toledo police and zoo security at about 2:30 a.m. Thursday after being seen on camera sitting on a bench near the tiger exhibit.
Criminal trespassing ranges from a Fourth degree to a First degree misdemeanor in OH and could mean jail time of 30 to 180 days – a price this Pokemaster says is not worth the catch.
Bartholomy says she regrets trespassing, but had to catch them all.
Bartholomy foreshadowed her and Crawford’s expedition a few days prior on Facebook, acknowledging she wasn’t “above” breaking the law for the sake of being the best, like no one ever was.
The unraveling of society is continuing apace following the release of Pokemon Go.
The wildly popular game involves chasing digital critters that pop up as you move about the real world.
Moriarty said Pokemon Go players are welcome to play the game at the zoo during regular hours as long as they abide by the zoo’s rules.

Already, numerous instances of people walking into traffic and wiping out while playing the game, eyes glued to their cell phone screen, have been reported across the country.
