Library sends police to collect overdue books from 5-year-old
"Nobody wanted to, on this end to get involved in it," says Sgt. Dowd. "But the library contacted us, and the chief delegated, and apparently I was one of the low men on the totem pole."

But state law does outline a misdemeanor for such things, and police thought a friendly reminder might make a better impression and get better results than a cold summons to court.

The Benoit's insist they never got any warnings.
