Woman handcuffed, booked and fingerprinted for overdue library books!
GRAFTON, Wisconsin - August 23, 2008 - Heidi Dalibor is the first to
admit that she ignored calls and letters from the Grafton library regarding two
overdue books.
She also admits that she ignored a notice to appear in municipal court or pay the fine associated with the municipal violation.
Still, the last thing she expected was a knock on her door by Grafton police.
"They showed me a warrant they had for my arrest," said Dalibor, 20. "They said they had to cuff me and I said, ‘Are you serious?’"
And then, on a sunny summer morning, she did the perp walk through her Arapaho Avenue neighborhood, where most families knew her as the girl who used to baby-sit their kids. All she could think about was that no one would know why she was being led away from her home in handcuffs.
Once at the police station, Dalibor was fingerprinted and photographed, the marks and scars on her body recorded, she said.
