Man arrested for not returning VHS movie rental 14 years later

CONCORD, N.C. — A man says a warrant was issued for his arrest for failing to return a 2002 VHS rental of a 2001 Tom Green movie.

James Meyers said he was driving Tuesday morning when a Concord police officer pulled him over for a light that was out.

Meyers said the officer ran his license and that is when he said the officer asked him to step out of the vehicle.

The officer showed Meyers the arrest warrant and then let him go only if he promised to turn himself in, according to Meyers.

Later that day, Meyers said he went to the Police Department where he was arrested.

Meyers said officers were nice and professional to him.

They released him afterward.

The warrant said he had failed to return rental property.

Meyers has an April 27 court date.
