Kayla Michelle Finley may be wishing that services such as Netflix and Amazon Prime had been around a little earlier . The South Carolina woman spent a night in jail last week for failing to return a video she rented -- in 2005 . It was a VHS tape . Of a Jennifer Lopez movie . Finley , 27 , was arrested Thursday in Pickens County , South Carolina , on a misdemeanor charge of failure to return the video , according to CNN affiliate WYFF-TV . The movie , `` Monster-In-Law , '' starring Lopez and Jane Fonda as a feuding potential daughter- and mother-in-law , was rented from a video store , Dalton Videos , that is now out of business . The WYFF report says Finley was at the county sheriff 's office on another matter when an active warrant for her arrest was discovered . Chief Deputy Creed Hashe told the station that the store 's owner had asked a Pickens County judge for the warrant years ago when Finley did n't return her video . Hashe said Finley had been sent several certified letters asking her to turn herself in . Finley spent the night in jail because her bond hearing could n't be held until Friday morning . A judge released her on $ 2,000 bond . Efforts to reach out to Finley via social media were unsuccessful early Monday . But a woman identifying herself as Finley , and whose profile picture appeared similar to Finley 's mug shot , took to Fox Carolina News Facebook page on Saturday to defend herself . She said that after renting the movie she had to move out of state because of her husband 's job and that she simply forgot about it . `` I 'm no criminal , but Pickens County Sheriff 's office sure made me feel like I was , '' she wrote . She said she never received any letters from the sheriff 's office , while striking back at people who had made negative comments on the Fox post . `` If I had , it would have been taken care of immediately , '' she wrote . `` Some of you need to quit ( judging ) like you are . This is a bogus charge and everyone knows it . '' For Finley , it 's no laughing matter . But that did n't stop folks online from commenting on the ridiculousness of it all . `` Oh god , I 'm so embarrassed , '' wrote Twitter user Alec MacKinnon . `` Now everyone is going to know I rented 'Monster In Law . ' `` `` They should sentence her to time already served , '' wrote one CNN commenter . `` She 'll never get the 2 hours she spent watching that movie back . '' Others were taking shots at what they felt was an overreaction by law enforcement . `` Wait till they find out that she forgot to REWIND the tape ! ! ! '' annother commenter wrote . The Pickens County Sheriff 's Office did not immediately return a call seeking comment .
