An 86-year-old woman was arrested in Fort Meyers, Florida for missing a court date stemming from a charge of leaving the scene of an accident with property damage. Jeanne Marie Owens-Libby had a warrant for her arrest issued after missing her court date for the alleged hit and run. She was booked into Lee County Jail and released on bond.
According to a story on 10 Connects, the woman told deputies she missed her court date because she wasn’t feeling well. When she tried to call she was swamped in the automated phone system that makes most everyone’s life miserable when trying to actually speak to a live person in the county government. She said after a while she didn’t want to bother anymore.
