A Littleton, CO teenager got quite the shock when he didn't return a DVD to a Littleton library.
A warrant went out for Aaron Henson's arrest after he failed to appear for a court summons to answer the charge. The summons were being sent to an outdated address. Henson was arrested, his car was impounded, and paid $900 in court and jail fees.
Makes that little $1.50 late fine seem cheap in comparison, right? Come to think of it, I wonder if I have old library fines I'd be arrested for...
The Littleton mayor said that the town would be changing its policy as a result of Henson's case.
