Woman faces felony charges for not returning VHS Tape over 20 years ago

Remember VHS tapes? One Texas woman now certainly does after a particular tape came back to haunt her over 20 years later.

Caron McBride, a former Oklahoma resident, faced felony embezzlement charges for not returning a “Sabrina the Teenage Witch” VHS tape to a movie rental place in Norman in 1999.

McBride learned about her charges in Cleveland County after trying to change her name following her marriage in Texas.

They told her that she had an issue in Oklahoma and there was a reference number and she needed to call a certain number and she did. Meanwhile, she was a wanted felon.

According to court documents, McBride was charged in March 2000 for felony embezzlement of rented property. The location, Movie Place, went out of business in 2008.

McBride said she didn’t recall renting the movie and believes it may have been an old roommate. She stated that he had two kids and she thinks he went and got it and didn’t take it back or something. She said she has never watched that show in her entire life.

The charges were eventually dropped by the Cleveland County District Attorney’s Office after her story aired on local television. The district attorney said McBride will need to get her case expunged to clear her record.
