The next day there were some arrests regarding what became known as the Meyersville Tar Party. The local perpetrators where quickly bailed out though. Dorothy was held in a cell as a material witness for several weeks. Curiosity seekers from throughout the county lined up in the street, outside the jail, for a chance to get a look at the filthy tar slut. The remnants of the tar could still be seen on her face and shoulders as well as in what remained of her hair.
