A North Carolina man was arrested for not returning a VHS tape of a movie he rented 14 years ago, from a rental store that closed 10 years ago. 

On his way while driving his daughter to school, James Meyers was pulled over by an officer for a broken brake light, and the license check brought up the fact that there was a warrant for his arrest for him not returning a 2001 VHS rental of “Freddie Got Fingered,” a misdemeanor in North Carolina. 

Good job NC, your incompetent institution never ceases to amaze me.
