The Smoking Gun website reports that twenty year old Heidi Dalibor was arrested, handcuffed, and photographed for a mug shot because she had two long overdue books from the Grafton, Wisconsin library.
It’s nearly funny until you consider that arrest over two library books is an absurd waste of police time and effort.
A serious department would be embarrassed to undertake that effort, but at least one person wastefully and ignorantly assumed that it was a good idea.
Ms. Dalibor’s story and agreeable mug shot are available at
