A Texas woman recently learned she was charged with a felony after not returning a VHS tape for over 20 years, CBS Dallas/Fort Worth reports. Caron McBride, a former Oklahoma resident, faced a felony embezzlement charge for not returning "Sabrina the Teenage Witch" to a movie rental store in Norman in 1999.
McBride told Oklahoma station KOKH-TV that she learned about her charges in Cleveland County after trying to change her name following her marriage in Texas. "I thought I was gonna have a heart attack," McBride said. "They told me that I had an issue in Oklahoma and this was the reference number for me to call this number and I did. Meanwhile, I'm a wanted felon," she said.Ashley White received her earliest combat action badge from the United States Army soon after the first lieutenant arrived in Afghanistan. The silver military award, recognizing soldiers who've been personally engaged by an attacker during conflict, was considered an achievement in and of itself as well as an affirming rite of passage for the newly deployed. White had earned it for using her own body to shield a group of civilian women and children from gunfire that broke out in the midst of her third mission in Kandahar province. All of them survived. She never mentioned the badge to anyone in her battalion.
