Post Overdue DVD results in arrest.

Littleton has a $30 threshold when it comes to overdue property. If a DVD or book is worth less than this, they won't go to extensive means to get it back. But, considering House of Flying Daggers was valued at $31.45, the City really wanted to get it back.

The Hensons ended up paying about $460 in charges: $200 to get Aaron out of jail, $200 to get his car out of the impound lot and $60 in court fees. Although all charges were dropped and Aaron returned the DVD, the arrest will remain on his record. The Mayor of Littleton told 7News that, in light of the story, the City would be changing its policy on overdue DVDs. "We're not going to arrest people who don't return $30 DVDs," he said.

Meh, if he's gotten due warning (2-3 letters saying that his DVD has to be returned already) then it's his own fault. There was a warrant, so I assume that is very much the case. I hate people who willingly waste money by returning stuff late to the library every time. Maybe he'll learn a lesson this time. :P

yea, I agree, it's his own fault. Of course, it probably would've been better if they'd just billed him for that and some administrative overhead.
