Marshalltown police said one of the employees caught Suzanne Marie Butts, of Marshalltown, taking the two-ply from the women's bathroom and called police.
The courthouse parking lot attendant said he knew about toilet paper going missing.
"I've heard they call it the toilet paper caper," said parking lot attendant Gene Seim.
Police said they caught up with Butts outside the courthouse Friday, and she was hiding the toilet paper in her shirt.
Butts told Iowa TV station KCCI that it was the first time she had stolen toilet paper and that her attorney said not talk.
"He told me not to ask any questions until he's with me," Butts said.
The courthouse workers told police they suspected something was up.
"She's facing three years incarceration for three rolls of toilet paper," Walker said. "Normally, that would be a simple misdemeanor."
Police said that on Friday, Butts was arrested on charges of stealing $30 from a family member. That makes four theft charges against her. A judge will decide what punishment fits this crime.

that's kind of a "shitty" thing to happen.

I'm guessing she doesn't have a sister named Ophelia.

She was one of the Butts sisters. Her sister's name is Bertha.

"She's facing three years incarceration for three rolls of toilet paper," Walker said. "Normally, that would be a simple misdemeanor."
Police said that on Friday, Butts was arrested on charges of stealing $30 from a family member.

A serious wtf to all of this. Cops would actually arrest someone over stealing $30 from a family member? They would charge her with stealing toilet paper? 3 years for stealing $30 and toilet paper? If she gets anything other than community service then the world has truly gone mad.
