New law: Late videos get you jail time

Conspiracy blamed in arrest over late video Conspiracy blamed in arrest over late video Antiwar protester sees a connection BY FRANK WITSILFREE PRESS STAFF WRITER August 31, 2006 If you enjoy conspiracy theories, here's one: Monica Legg, a 43-year-old antiwar protester arrested last Thursday at her home in Lewiston, in Montmorency County, and charged with failing to return a rented video, says the Man -- as in the government -- is prosecuting her because of her political views. The connection: The same day she was arrested, she said, her photo appeared in the Free Press with a report about protests in Ferndale. Moreover, she said Wednesday, her 45-year-old husband, Donald Legg -- who has a bumper sticker on his car that criticizes Vice President Dick Cheney -- was charged, too. Both are scheduled to be arraigned Friday in 88th District Court in Atlanta. But the prosecutor, video store owner and state police say that politics has nothing to do with the arrest. Suzanne Cronk, who owns the Timbertown Video store in Lewiston, said that she let the Leggs rent videos on faith, and that when the tapes didn't come back, she tried to contact them but didn't get a response. Finally, Cronk said, she called the police. "I don't have a political agenda," said Trooper Pat Pullum of the Gaylord Post, who was the arresting officer. "It's just my professional duty." If you get jail time for late or no returns on videos I would be sitting in Jackson prison right now. The Leggs got charge for bustin the coked up monkey chops so don't believe this they didn't return a video mess. Add this to if you wore a anti smirk shirt or have an John Kerry bumper sticker be prepare for some serious payback from the Bush followers.
