A North Carolina man has been arrested on a warrant charging him with failing to return a VHS copy of a movie he rented in 2001.

As he was driving his daughter to school Tuesday morning, James Meyers, 37, got pulled over for a broken tail light. When a Concord Police Department officer ran Meyers’s name for warrants, the cop got a hit dating back more than 14 years.

Meyers, the warrant alleges, did not return “one VCR movie” to a video rental firm in Salisbury, a city 45 miles north of Charlotte. The business, J&J Video, closed years ago. The film, “Freddy Got Fingered,” was allegedly not returned “at the expiration of the time for which it was rented.”

Pictured below, Meyers was busted for failure to return hired property, a misdemeanor. Meyers, who works as a caterer, was transported to the Cabarrus County jail, where a magistrate judge subsequently released him on a written promise to appear at an April 27 court hearing.

Though it sounds like a porn title, “Freddy Got Fingered” stars comedian Tom Green as a slacker living in his father’s basement. In a generally positive New York Times review, A.O. Scott wrote that the movie’s “comic heart consists of a series of indescribably loopy, elaborately conceived happenings that are at once rigorous and chaotic, idiotic and brilliant.”

A VHS copy of the 97-minute film can currently be found on eBay for the “buy it now” price of $5.99.

Meet Harrison McLain Eulett.

By his own account, the 18-year-old Floridian “has a job and money,” but still likes to burglarize cars as a way to ease his boredom.

Master Eulett was arrested early yesterday in connection with a recent series of thefts from autos parked in Palm Harbor, a community on the state’s west coast. During police questioning, Eulett reportedly copped to the 2 AM burglaries, saying that he and four friends drove around looking for “unlocked vehicles to get money.”

Eulett also felt the need to say that he “has no remorse,” according to an arrest affidavit. Additionally, the teen noted that he “has a job and money and just does this because he is bored,” according to cops.

Eulett made sure to add that, “These people got what they deserve,” apparently for leaving their vehicles unlocked.

Eulett was charged with auto theft and four counts of burglary. He is locked up in lieu of $45,000 bond on the five felony charges.

While court records offer no information on Eulett’s “job and money,” the teenager does have $164.16 in his jail commissary account.

Seattle police are seeking the public’s help in identifying a suspected serial masturbator who publicly pleasures himself while disguising his identity with a makeshift ninja outfit.

Cops first learned of the masked pervert in January, after a woman called 911 to report that a man was “masturbating outside the front door of her home.” Cops responding to the scene were unable to locate the suspect.

Last month, a night vision camera outside the woman’s residence recorded the suspect again pleasuring himself next to the front door. As seen above and below, the surveillance images--which captured the masked masturbator in the act--show him dressed head-to-toe in dark clothing (the night vision camera makes dark colors appear white).

As seen above, the suspect was wearing a pair of rubberized five toe shoes.

Residents of the targeted home are University of Washington students who say that they have “heard suspicious sounds outside their house on several occasions,” according to cops. Investigators believe that the masked masturbator may have been at the residence four times over the past several months.

Anyone with information about the creepy nightcrawler is asked to contact police at (206) 684-5575.

In advance of Donald Trump’s appearance this weekend at a Florida campaign rally, supporters of the Republican presidential candidate have complained to cops that they have been attacked while campaigning for the billionaire.

With Trump scheduled to appear Saturday at the University of Central Florida, his supporters have been positioned on Orlando sidewalks urging people to attend the rally, as well as vote in advance of the state’s March 15 primary.

On Monday, Louis Valls, a 65-year-old Trump volunteer, told police of a confrontation that occurred outside a public library where he had set up numerous campaign signs.

Valls said that “two Hispanic males” exited the library and began taking his Trump signs out of the ground. When he went to confront the duo, Valls added, one of the men “purposely” ran into him and knocked him to the ground. “The males started laughing at Louis and continued to pull out more of his signs,” according to an Orange County Sheriff's Office report.

Valls said that the suspects--who are between 18 and 22--ran off with eight signs, though he later recovered the discarded campaign items on a nearby street. The pair, added Valls, made their escape in a getaway car that was “already running and occupied.”

The alleged offenses listed in the sheriff’s report are theft and battery on a victim over the age of 65.

Another Trump volunteer told deputies that she was struck in the chest by a drink thrown from the window of a passing car.

Irma Bashore, 44, yesterday was outside another Orlando library holding a Trump sign when she “felt an impact to her stomach.” Bashore initially thought she had been hit by a rock, but realized that “her shirt and pants were wet with from what appeared to be a drink from Panera, possibly a cold coffee.”

Bashore said she thought her assailant was driving a “light gray or tan mini-van type vehicle.” A witness told cops that the male suspect threw the drink out the car's passenger window at Bashore, who was left with a welt on her stomach and complained that “the impact hurt.” The incident has been classified as an aggravated battery.

In the shadow of the Academy Awards, an employee of the "Dr. Phil" show has agreed to plead guilty to a felony charge for illegally uploading a copy of “The Revenant” to a BitTorrent site where more than one million visitors downloaded a copy of the Oscar-nominated film starring Leonardo DiCaprio.

According to a February 26 plea agreement, William Kyle Morarity obtained “screener” copies of “The Revenant” and “The Peanuts Movie” in mid-December. The 31-year-old Morarity had admitted taking the DVD discs “without authorization” while working for a TV production on a Hollywood studio lot.

Morarity “made copies of the Copyrighted Films and transported them home on a portable USB drive,” reported prosecutors.

While court records do not identify Morarity’s employer, TSG has learned that he worked as a production coordinator for the “Dr. Phil” show, which shoots on the Paramount lot. Morarity, a married father of two young children, told FBI agents that he uploaded the films to the Pass the Popcorn web site from his Los Angeles County home.

Thanks to Morarity, “The Revenant” was available for peer-to-peer downloads a week before its initial opening in four theaters (and three weeks before its nationwide release).

As detailed in the plea agreement, "over one million people" downloaded the version of “The Revenant” uploaded by Morarity. Prosecutors estimated that Twentieth Century Fox, the film’s distributor, suffered at least $1.12 million in losses due to the online piracy.

Morarity (seen above) is scheduled to be arraigned next month on the copyright infringement count, which carries a maximum penalty of three years in prison.

A uniformed South Carolina cop masturbated while watching pornography on his cell phone in a marked patrol car, according to court records.

Investigators allege that Marshall Hardin, 41, was seen by a witness pleasuring himself in the cruiser in mid-December.

Hardin, an officer with the Camden Police Department, was spotted at a park in Camden, a city about 35 miles from Columbia, the state capital.

A criminal complaint alleges that Hardin “was watching adult pornography on his personal cell phone while rubbing his penis through his uniform pants.” Hardin subsequently exited the patrol car and exposed himself so that he could “stroke his penis two times.”

The complaint adds that Hardin “put his penis back in his pants,” and “went into the restroom in the public park to finish ejaculating.”

Hardin confessed to the illicit activity in a “sworn written statement,” the complaint notes.

Pictured above, Hardin has been charged with misconduct in office, a felony carrying a maximum 10-year prison term. Hardin, who is free on bond, is no longer a member of the Camden police force.
