IOWA - An Iowa woman has been arrested after police said she failed to return a library book. Shelly Koontz, 39, was arrested on a fifth-degree theft charge. She is accused of keeping "The Freedom Writers Diary," which she checked out from the public library in April. Police say the book — which is about a high school teacher's effort to inspire students to write — is valued at $13.95. Court records show library employees tried repeatedly to contact Koontz by phone and mail. A police officer even visited her home last September. Officials at the Buchanan County jail say Koontz was released after posting $250 bond. |
