Unreturned library book leads to woman’s arrest

Resisting Arrest - Bitch!
INDEPENDENCE, Iowa (AP) — 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 (yes, you read that right)
Court records show library employees tried repeatedly to contact Koontz by phone and mail. A police officer even visited her home last September. (Jes can’t help thinkin there’s GOT to be more important things goin on … er … Officer.)
Officials at the Buchanan County jail say Koontz was released after posting $250 bond. No telephone listing for Koontz could be found in the Independence area.
