LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A man who pleaded guilty to stealing a red-footed tortoise last year from the Lincoln Children's Zoo has been sentenced to 180 days in jail.
The Lincoln Journal Star reports that 25-year-old Michael Sullivan was sentenced Friday.
The tortoise named Captain Hook went missing in March 2013 from her enclosure. Zoo officials say they didn't report her stolen or missing because they thought she would turn up.
