When a woman in Texas, USA, went to change her driver's license and changed her name after marriage, she unexpectedly found herself a "felon" and had been wanted for many years.
And all this, but also from a videotape more than 20 years ago...
Caron Mcbride, a native of Okolahoma, is married and settled in Texas.

After marriage, she traveled to the Texas Vehicle Authority (DMV) to change her surname on her driver's license. But she got an email from a DMV saying, "You seem to have a problem in Okolahoma." ”
Confused, McBride quickly contacted the relevant departments, but suddenly found himself guilty of "federal misappropriation", and his name had been on the wanted list for many years?!
The charge in Oklahoma carries a sentence of two to eight years in prison and carries fines ranging from $5,000 to $10,000.
According to court documents, her "crime" was to forget to return a 1999 rental video of Sabrina the Teenage Witch to Movie Place in Norman, a tape rental shop at the time.
When the video rental was overdue, she was charged with felonies.
But McBride said he didn't remember watching the tape at all, and that the renter might have had someone else.
"I was sharing a room with a young man, and that was more than 20 years ago. He has two children, daughters around 8 and 10, and I think he borrowed the tape and forgot to return it. ”
"I swear I've never seen Teenage Witch Sabrina in my life!"

Although the video rental shop of that year has long been closed. But McBride's "black history" was thus left behind.
And she believes it was this false accusation that led to her frequent job changes over the years. These former owners can see her "previous crime" when they do background checks.
Fortunately, McBride's story was broadcast on local television, cleveland County authorities dropped the charges. But prosecutors said that in order for her case to disappear completely, he would need to personally return to Oklahoma to clear the criminal record.
But the treatment suffered for this crime is irreparable. Inexplicably carrying the pot for people for more than 20 years, it is really no sei
……
And this kind of "oolong incident" also happened to a Nanka woman.
In 2014, Kayla Michelle Finley, 27, was going to the local police station to report a crime, but the police discovered the arrest warrant issued by the police department in 2005 and detained her overnight.

Extremely shocked and angry when she was detained, Finley was held in prison all night until she was released the next morning after paying a $2,000 guarantee.
The reason is that she rented a video of the romantic comedy "Monster in Law", starring Jennifer Lopez and Jane Fonda, which was 9 years overdue.
Finley wrote on Facebook that he didn't know about it and had never received any video-related reminders and warning letters. If so, she will return the tape as soon as possible.
But the local police station in South Carolina said it had sent Finley a warning letter about overdue rentals, but because she had moved. So didn't receive it.
