00:00there's nothing like finding out you're a wanted felon over a technology that really
00:08basically doesn't exist anymore a woman learned she has an outstanding felony charge
00:14for not returning a vhs tape back in 1999 andy that seems yeah i see i'm not worried about it
00:24because i don't think blockbuster does that right this has got to be one of those like little uh
00:29little places right and what was it sabrina the teenage witch oh man that's her outstanding
00:38felony charge here's the story i would i think it is i think it is worth it here's the story from fox
00:4625 in oklahoma take a listen to believe that one of these could result in felony embezzlement charges
00:53but that's exactly what happened to mcbride and now she's dealing with even greater issues because of
00:58it the first thing she told me was felony embezzlement so i thought i was going to have
01:03a heart attack it was a moment of disbelief for karen mcbride as she was talking to the cleveland
01:08county district attorney's office this week where she learned she was a wanted felon for never
01:14returning sabrina the teenage witch on vhs 21 years ago a movie she says she never even rented
01:24no actually i had lived with a young man this was over 20 years ago he had two kids daughters that
01:32were 8 10 11 years old and i'm thinking he went and got it and didn't take it back or something i don't
01:40know i have never watched that show in my entire life just not my cup of tea online documents show
01:46mcbride was charged with embezzlement in march of 2000 but never knew about the charges until recently
01:52when trying to change her name on her license after getting married they told me that i had a
01:58issue in oklahoma and this was the reference number for me to call this number and i did
02:03meanwhile i'm a wanted felon for a vhs take
02:08documents show the movie was rented at movie place in norman oklahoma we've since learned
02:14movie place the name of the place is called movie place you don't steal from movie place down here
02:21you understand you understand what we do to people steal our own to the greatest extent of the law
02:28how'd you guys come up with the name i don't know thinking about it we spitballed a couple different
02:33places we was gonna call a movie stop yeah popcorn joint and then we was just gonna call it the flick
02:39center but then turns out that was taken it was it was you believe that so then he just comes run
02:46up one day and says movie place you know and i was like that's it it came to me in a dream and if
02:51somebody steals sabrina the teenage witch we are gonna just slap them with a felony to think how many

03:32of it yeah like movie place no no it's there that's the name of it meanwhile i'm a wanted felon
03:42for a vhs table mcbride says over the last 20 years she's been let go from several jobs without
03:48given a reason why and says now it all makes sense oh my god could you imagine you've been fired for

04:01my god i mean i can't you can't hire someone that has that yeah hooked up with some guy who rented
