Library throws the book at patron

The Dallasnews is running This One on a man who landed in jail because of Cinderella and Tom and Jerry. They say that about 20 people have been arrested in 10 years in Nolan County, TX.


His failure to return the two books he\’d checked out for his children, plus two others about handwriting analysis, cost him more than $1,000, jeopardized his job and left him with a criminal record.

\”It\’s crazy,\” said Mr. Fox. \”It\’s ludicrous. This is on my record as theft; nobody can believe it was over library books.\”
