Kathleen Threatt was hauled to court for failing to pay child support 12 years past its due date ... it was for 63 cents!
Threatt called the court thinking it was a misunderstanding, because not only are her children no longer children, but she's also a grandmother by both of them.
She even remembers receiving a letter at the conclusion of her child support duties saying she had paid in full. Somehow, some small change slipped through the cracks and resurfaced nearly 12 years past its due date.
"My problem is the waste of resources," she said. "This is crazy."
"It's a waste, but that's part of what we do, unfortunately," said Sumter County Clerk of Court Jamie Campbell. "We don't have the authority to wipe it away."

If the stop sign says STOP, it doesn't mean part of the time.
