Video rental past due for 14 years leads to arrest of NC man

A Concord, North Carolina man has been arrested on suspicion of failing to return a video rented 14 years ago. James Meyers is accused of failing to return a rented tape to a video store that no longer exists, according to local media and his own account on YouTube.

Meyers said he was pulled over Wednesday, allegedly for having a taillight out. A Concord police officer ran a background check, and that's when an outstanding warrant surfaced. The arrest warrant was for Meyers being well over a decade late in returning Freddy Got Fingered, a comedy starring comedian Tom Green.

"He goes, 'Sir, I don’t know how to tell you this, but there’s a warrant for your arrest from 2002. Apparently, you rented a movie Freddy Got Fingered and you never returned it... And we’re here to take you to jail,'" Meyers said of the incident with a Concord police officer.
