Woman jailed for not returning video in 2005 Updated: 14:16 February 17, 2014 (CNN) View Large Kayla Michelle Finley may be wishing that services such as Netflix and Amazon Prime had been around a little earlier. The South Carolina woman spent a night in jail last week for failing to return a video she rented -- in 2005. It was a VHS tape. Of a Jennifer Lopez movie. Finley, 27, was arrested Thursday in Pickens County, S.C., on a misdemeanor charge of failure to return the video, according to CNN affiliate WYFF-TV. The movie, Monster-In-Law, starring Lopez and Jane Fonda as a feuding potential daughter- and mother-in-law, was rented from a video store, Dalton Videos, that is now out of business. The WYFF report says Finley was at the county sheriffs office on another matter when an active warrant for her arrest was discovered. Chief Deputy Creed Hashe told the station that the stores owner had asked a Pickens County judge for the warrant years ago when Finley didnt return her video. Hashe said Finley had been sent several certified letters asking her to turn herself in. Finley spent the night in jail because her bond hearing couldnt be held until Friday morning. A judge released her on $2,000 bond. Efforts to reach out to Finley via social media were unsuccessful early Monday. But a woman identifying herself as Finley, and whose profile picture appeared similar to Finleys mug shot, took to Fox Carolina News Facebook page on Saturday to defend herself. She said that after renting the movie she had to move out of state because of her husbands job and that she simply forgot about it. Im no criminal, but Pickens County Sheriffs office sure made me feel like I was, she wrote. She said she never received any letters from the sheriffs office, while striking back at people who had made negative comments on the Fox post. If I had, it would have been taken care of immediately, she wrote. Some of you need to quit (judging) like you are. This is a bogus charge and everyone knows it. The Pickens County Sheriffs Office did not immediately return a call seeking comment. Copyright 2014 by CNN NewSource. All rights reserved.
