According to a tweet from the vocalist, the thief was caught and forced to return to the venue to give Bemis back his ring. Bemis' wife, Sherri DuPree, was also on the scene because her band, Eisley, are also on the bill. The pair married this past April.

Bemis tweeted: "Great show tonight- some girl stole My wedding ring got caught and had to drive back and give it to Me. Boo that girl!!"

No word on whether or not any charges were filed against the jewelry thief.
