The article doesn't say whether it was Tropic of Cancer or Tropic of Capricorn.

GRAFTON, Wis. - A Grafton woman has been arrested and booked for failing to pay her library fines. Heidi Dalibor, 20, told the News Graphic in Cedarburg she ignored the library's calls and letters as well as a notice to appear in court.

Still, she was surprised when officers with a warrant knocked on her door, cuffed her and took her to the police station to be fingerprinted and photographed.

Police Capt. Joe Gabrish said officers follow the same procedure with every warrant.

Har! Insane!

Maybe I could see this happening in a town in the Mid-West...but Manhattan?

Hey that reminds me of a Stephen King novella:"The Library Policeman" ("come with me, thon, I'm a poleethman") in his book Four Past Midnight. But in that story, it's all fiction within fiction: even in that story, there is no Mr. Bookman.
