Woman jailed for not returning a video rental

[Still Waters]

In a move that makes those overdue library book fines seem insignificant, a Pickens, S.C., woman was arrested for the failure to return a Jennifer Lopez movie she rented in 2005.

Lol.

And this is why big box movie rentals went out of business!

They started taking the game too seriously!

I think you misread the article, she was arrested for renting a Jennifer Lopez film, not for not returning it.

My high school bf kept a VHS movie once and when the store called he just said he returned it. The End.

When she returned it, it was twice the size it was in 2005.

It was a VHS tape. You can't even give those things away nowadays.

She should have received a bill in the mail. If she didn't pay, she should have her account sent to a collection agency. Not jail.
