Akron, Ohio police have arrested Tammie Ware on felony charges after finding more than 1000 items from the Akron-Summit County Public Library in her house.
Her MO:
Once the fines for overdue material on one library card got too high she would bring her kids in again and sign them up for a new library card using fake names.
I am not sure how many kids Ware actually has but according to library records “she had listed thirty-five children” with her overdue fines totaling more than $8000.
Not only did Ware steal books, CD’s and DVD’s but she also stole toys from the children’s area!
Apparently this went on for years until someone at the library finally caught on.
