Ugh, and he wasn’t even arrested over a good movie.
According to the New York Daily News, a 37-year-old North Carolina man driving his daughter to school Tuesday morning was pulled over by police for a broken taillight, but it was an unreturned rental of a shitty movie that landed him in handcuffs that afternoon.
Police informed James Meyers that there was a warrant out for his arrest because he hadn’t returned a VHS copy of “Freddy Got Fingered” that he rented from J&J’s Video in Kannapolis in 2001. Despite the fact that the store has since closed, police told Meyers they still had to serve the warrant after he dropped his daughter off at school.
Meyers has an April 27 court date and faces a fine of up to $200 for not returning the movie, a fine that comedian and star of the movie Tom Green has said he’ll pay “just for the principle of the thing.”
Now if we can just get Green to reimburse the rest of us who actually dropped 20 bucks to see that pile of dog shit in the theaters, then we’ll really be getting somewhere.
