Leroy Anderson was minding his own business on a normal evening, much like tonight, when four police officers knocked on his door. He knew he'd done nothing wrong, he wasn't a wanted felon, he didn't beat his kids, he wasn't a robber, or a murderer. So imagine his surprise when they produced an arrest warrant with his name on it! He nearly fainted when he found out what it was for ..... over due library books that he had forgotten to return. How many of us have moved? You know when you move things are hectic, things get lost, misplaced and .... forgotten. Apparently, Mr. Anderson forgot to return two romance novels valued at $69.00. Anderson was arrested and jailed. Anderson posted the $100.00 bail and returned the following week to pay his fine.

"Can you imagine going to jail over two books?" Anderson asked. "You've got baby rapers and bank robbers out there, but they want to put me in jail for something that wasn't important enough to worry about several years ago." Police Chief Richard Swartz had this to say about the incident: "It's as bad or worse than speeding as far as I'm concerned," he said. "Too many people have total disregard for public property."
