MOUNT AIRY, N.C. - The actress who played Thelma Lou on "The Andy Griffith Show"

was robbed in the town that inspired the show's idyllic Mayberry setting, after

moving to the area to avoid big city crime.

Betty Lou Lynn had her wallet stolen at a shopping center in Mount Airy, the

birthplace of Andy Griffith.

The Mount Airy News reports that police arrested Shirley Walter Guynn of Cana,

Va. He's being held in Surry County Jail on a $10,000 bond. It was not

immediately clear Thursday if he has a lawyer.

In an earlier interview with the newspaper, the 83-year-old Lynn said she moved

to Mount Airy after being robbed three times in Los Angeles. In the TV series,

Thelma Lou was the girlfriend of Deputy Barney Fife, played by Don Knotts.

***I think that boisterous transient Briscoe Darling was in on it and Ernest T was

probably the lookout.

And where was Andy during the alleged crime? Getting a haircut, I presume? Clever alibi but it does implicate Floyd in this sordid caper.

Please pardon my suspicious nature.

Scumbags don't have one of those Electric shock collars that prevent them from going anywhere.
