According to library officials, such charges are rarely pursued and are only filed if the person in question owes more than $200 in fines. I’m fairly certain the ordeal of issuing a warrant and arresting and jailing Few cost the fine city of Texas more than $200, but hip-hip-hooray for the wheels of justice!
