I Cannot Fathom Why An Iowa Woman Got Arrested For Not Returning A $14 Library Book!!

This is a piece of ridiculousness for the day.Talk about throwing the book at someone! A woman in Iowa got arrested for not returning an overdue library book.Why are they wasting the taxpayer's dollars in the state of Iowa? Here's more on this stupid arrest from the Baltimore Sun:

"An Iowa woman has been arrested because she failed to return a library book.

Thirty-nine-year-old Shelly Koontz was arrested Thursday night on a fifth-degree theft charge. She is accused of keeping "The Freedom Writers Diary," which she checked out from the public library in nearby Jesup in April.

Police say the book — which is about a high school teacher's effort to inspire students to write — is valued at $13.95.
