Excerpt: A Newton man who didn’t return books to the public library for months has landed in jail.
Police say Christopher Anspach was charged with third-degree theft after failing to return items worth $770. He checked out 11 books and six CDs, including a box set, in January. He was charged after repeated efforts by the library, a collection agency and the city attorney to get him to return the items.
Anspach pleaded guilty Aug. 31 and was sentenced to 10 days in the Jasper County jail. He was released Sept. 8.
