Haltom homeowners shocked by water bill threat

By CHRIS HAWES / WFAA ABC 8

HALTOM CITY — Eddie Ashcroft couldn't quite believe what was enclosed with his latest Haltom City water bill: a threat.

"It says you're going to be arrested in your home," Ashcroft said. "That could scare older people."

The flyer, titled "Warrant Roundup," went on to say: "This court has reported you to the Texas Department of Public Safety," adding that the recipient will be arrested "wherever we may find you."

I'd say something about "stupid bureaucrats" but that would be an oxymoron ...

Sounds a lot like the world of Idiocracy. The character, Jack Bowers did not pay his hospital bill in the year 2505 and ended up going to prison after a kangaroo court found him guilty.
