Someone passed along This Story on a man that got arrested for overdue library books from a Marshall library.
Two romance novels he\’d checked out were due in February of 1999. They told him he had to post $100 bail immediately or go to jail. Mapleton Police Chief Richard Swartz confirmed that. Perhaps this took things a little too far?
\”I told that judge this was a joke and he agreed with me,\” Anderson said. \”How much did it cost to send those cops to my house, to have me come to court and to waste that judge\’s time listening to my case? Sure, the library got their $69 back, but how much did the taxpayers have to pay for it?\”
