ALBUQUERQUE, New Mexico - Lori Teel said she can’t remember checking out a “Twilight” book and movie from the Portales Public Library, but she’s not likely to forget her overnight stay in jail for failing to return them.
Library records show that Lori Teel checked out “The Twilight Saga: New Moon,” a two-DVD set, and “Twilight,” a novel by Stephenie Meyer, with a due date of Oct. 5, 2010.
Teel was arrested and handcuffed at her Portales home in front of her five small children earlier this month because of $35.98 worth of library materials allegedly taken out and not returned.
The overdue library fine led to a summons for Teel to appear in Portales Municipal Court, according to the claim. A municipal court judge issued warrants for Teel’s arrest last year after she failed to appear in court, but the summons and warrants were mailed to an address at which Teel hadn’t lived since childhood, and she never received any notices, she and her attorney say.
Teel was arrested June 12 by officers investigating a disturbance, according to her attorney, Eric Dixon of Portales. Teel said officers arrived at Teal’s home that evening in response to allegations that her husband had assaulted someone.
While there, officers realized there was a warrant for her arrest.
“Honestly, it was awful,” Teel said of the arrest and her night in the Roosevelt County Detention Center. “For me, it was very awful because I have never been in trouble for anything in my life.”
Her children, ages 1 to 10, stayed in a neighbor’s home until Teel was released the following morning on $610 bond.
“My kids are still very emotional,” Teel said. “They had to stay with a complete stranger. My 3-year-old is traumatized over it. She will not leave my side.”
Teel plans to file legal action for the arrest.
Portales City Attorney Stephen Doerr dismissed charges against Lori Teel on Monday, Municipal Court records show.
MIDDLEBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) -- Several dozen people have held a profanity laced rally to protest a Massachusetts town's bylaw allowing police to hand out $20 tickets for public swearing.
Some people shouted curse words while others carried profane posters supporting free speech at Monday's rally in the rain on the Middleborough Town Hall lawn. People who support the bylaw also showed up.
The protest rally was organized by Adam Kokesh, a libertarian who podcasts online from a Virginia studio. He says police can "steal from you if they don't like what's coming out of your mouth."
But police won't be issuing any tickets until the state attorney general determines if the bylaw making public cursing a civil offense is constitutional. The bylaw was passed overwhelmingly two weeks ago at a town meeting.
PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) -- It may be deceitful, but it's no longer a crime in Rhode Island to go online and lie about something as innocuous as your weight or your age.
Fudge your age on a dating site? Text your spouse claiming to be someplace you're not? Email mom to say how much you absolutely love that ugly holiday sweater she sent you? In Rhode Island, you were breaking the law.
You could be facing fines of up to $500 and as much as a year in prison for lying online up until this week when state lawmakers voted this month to repeal an obscure 1989 law.
The law aimed to stop fraud, con artists and scammers, but it also outlawed the "transmission of false data" regardless of whether liars stood to profit from their deception or not.
ELLICOTT CITY, Md. (AP) -- Police in Maryland say a man has been charged with assault for using a slingshot to fire glass marbles at a speed camera van.
Authorities say Bruce Lawrence May of Ellicott City was arrested Tuesday. The 50-year-old Lawrence was also charged with destruction of property and reckless endangerment. He was released on $3,000 bond.
Howard County police say that at about 5 p.m. Tuesday, the van was near Manor Woods Elementary School when the operator heard something hit the side of the vehicle. The operator saw a minivan pass and saw the driver with a slingshot fire another projectile at the speed camera van.
Police say that May had received two speed camera violations recently.
