A Michigan couple was prosecuted for two late Dr. Seuss library books. A judge told them they could land in jail for up to 93 days and face a maximum $500 fine, reported the Associated Press.
Cathy and Melvin Duren of Tecumseh, Mich., appeared in Lenawee County Court on April 14—both facing a misdemeanor charge of failure to return rental property.
They owe about $35 in late fees for “The Rome Prophecy,” borrowed in April 2015. They found and returned it in January.
I can't image going to jail over it, but I certainly will fight these charges because I'm not guilty.
