Booked on Charges

A woman in Iowa was arrested for failing to return a book to the library. Most shocking fact about the arrest: Apparently, people in Iowa can read.

The missing book retails for $13.95 and the woman had to post $250 bail. Crime and Punishment was never so ironic.

The book she borrowed was The Freedom Writer’s Diary. Apparently, she skipped the chapter that explains that freedom is conditional on returning the book.

The library tried to contact her for months before police got involved. Now they are going to throw the book at her.
