Family Can't Afford Fine; Woman Spends 6 Days In Jail

BELOIT, Wis. -- In Beloit, failing to return overdue library books is apparently a serious offense. It landed Keely Givhan behind bars for six days.

Beloit Public Library director Dan Zack said when books aren't returned, the library sends three overdue notices. After the third notice, a citation is sent that could include court date.

Givhan said she was in the process of moving so she never got the notices.

When a police officer pulled her over for a traffic violation in November, the officer found out about her outstanding warrant and took her to jail.

Look a crime is a crime. If you let her get away with a small crime what next ? Will she 'cook the books" for some company ? She took public property for her own use. If you do not stop the petty criminal his crimes will escallate. This woman is a "scofflaw".
