Police: Woman dumped liquids on books
BOISE, Idaho, (UPI) -- Police in Idaho said they arrested a woman suspected of damaging thousands of dollars worth of library books by pouring liquid into a drop box.
Boise police said Joy Cassidy, 74, is believed to have poured liquids including corn syrup and ketchup into the Ada County Library drop box at least 10 times since May 2009, The (Boise) Idaho Statesman reported Tuesday.
Police said they pulled Cassidy over Sunday because her car matched the description of a vehicle seen in the area during reports of the vandalism.
Boise Police spokesman Chuck McClure said officers determined Cassidy had just dropped an open jar of mayonnaise into the return box. He said police also found a loaded handgun under her driver's seat.
Cassidy was charged with misdemeanor injury to property and misdemeanor carrying a concealed weapon. Police said they have yet to determine a motive for the alleged library vandalism.
