74-year-old arrested in library vandalism caper

Posted on | July 13, 2010 | No Comments

LAS VEGAS LEGAL NEWS — News about vandals really isn’t news … unless the vandal is a 74-year-old woman accused of “repeatedly” pouring two kinds of syrup, ketchup, mayo and other condiments into a lirary book deposit.

Here’s the AP story…

Police have arrested a 74-year-old woman who is accused of repeatedly dumping maple syrup, corn syrup, ketchup and mayonnaise into a library book drop in Idaho’s capital city. Authorities had previously issued a pair of warrants for Joy Cassidy’s arrest earlier this month after she failed to appear in court.

But she turned herself in at the Ada County jail on Monday. Cassidy was originally arrested on June 13.

That’s after police say she poured mayonnaise in the library’s book drop box that day — and was a person of interest in at least 10 other condiment-related incidents at the Ada Community Library in Boise since May 2009.

In addition to malicious injury to property, Cassidy has also been charged with carrying a concealed weapon without a license.
