Woman arrested over unreturned DVD

Woman arrested over unreturned DVD

A South Carolina woman has been forced to spend a night in jail after she failed to return a DVD she borrowed nine years ago.

Kayla Michelle Finley, 27, rented out the film Monster-In-Law back in 2005 but never returned it.

After several requests to have the DVD returned were ignored, police in Pickens Country sent her a letter to have the film returned.

When she failed to do so, a warrant was issued for her arrest, the Daily Mail reported.

Yet, it was Finlay who accidentally handed herself into police when she went in to report an unrelated crime.

When police looked up her records, they noticed the outstanding warrant and arrested Finlay with petit larceny and failing to return a rented video.

She was then forced to spend the night in jail.

"It's obvious that Pickens County has nothing better to do,' Ms Finley told Fox News.

"I fully intend on fighting this, it’s ridiculous I had this happen to me," she said.

She was released after $US2000 bail was posted.
