A former resident of Oklahoma found out that she spent the last two decades with a felony charge to her name after failing to return a rented VHS tape.
Her legal troubles stem from a VHS copy of “Sabrina the Teenage Witch” which was rented from a video store back in 1999.She says she assumes it was rented by a roommate. But when the tape was never returned it was her that was charged with felony embezzlement of rented property in March of 2000. The rental store ultimately closed in 2008 but the charge remained. She says she only learned of the charge in the last year when she got married in Texas and tried changing her name.
But the charge was dismissed last week after the DA's office reviewed the case.
