Florida Man Arrested On Overdue Library Book Charges
Posted: 9:54 a.m. EST January 24, 2003
A man who had overdue library books was arrested. Kevin Crookman was five years overdue on returning three books to the Clearwater Public Library.
The 27-year-old had ignored a letter sent in 1998 ordering him to appear in court on the charges.
Crook was a passenger in a car pulled over by a Pinellas sheriff's deputy. When his name was run through a computer, it showed he was wanted for failing to show up in court on the overdue library book charge.
Crook spent the night in jail before a judge released him. He faces charges under a 1996 ordinance allowing libraries to prosecute the worst scofflaws in county court, where they face a 500 dollar fine per book.
However, Clearwater officials said they don't intend to pursue the charge against him, meaning it probably will be dismissed.

Here's another so-called 'socialist enterprise' according to the self-avowed anarcho-ideologies, where alleged freeloading vets are supposedly sucking at the public teat:

Shameless freeloaders. Dig 'em up and put 'em in the streets. How dare they rest in plots bought with stolen money.

Yeah, half my family is buried at Arlington. I will be to, when I croak.
The other half, however, was ineligable - wrong side.
And the way the Lee Mansion was stolen from Bobby Lee stinks.

Good grief, could it be? Our very own TJ, a parasite living off the largesse of the evil, socialist and immoral government?

Only an idiot would think a typo was indicative of spelling ability. You are a perfect illustration of such an idiot.
To: ThomasJefferson
Oh, and you are a liar as well. But I am sure most FReepers already know that.
