A New Mexico woman is suing her city for emotional injuries after her arrest for failure to return an overdue book and movie to her local library.

Lori Teel allegedly checked out a copy of the Twilight book and movie in the fall of 2010 and failed to return both.  According to news reports, overdue notices and eventually a demand for her to appear in court were sent to her home and ignored.  When police showed up at Teel's home on an unrelated disturbance call and discovered that a warrant had been issued for her arrest due to her failure to appear in court, she was arrested in front of her five children and had to spend the night in jail.

Teel says she doesn't even remember checking the book and movie out of the Portales Public Library and claims the court notices were sent to the wrong address.  Teel is suing the city for emotional injuries.

"My kids are still very emotional," Teel said.  “They had to stay with a complete stranger.  My 3-year-old is traumatized over it.  She will not leave my side."
