CONCORD, N.C. (WBTV) – Charges were dropped against a man who was accused of not returning a “Freddy Got Fingered” VHS tape.

James Meyers Jr. was pulled over in March by Concord police. It was then that he found out there was a warrant out for his arrest that had been pending since 2002. The warrant was issued by J&J Video out of Salisbury, which is no longer in business.

About a month later, on April 27, Meyers made his appearance in court and wanted his name cleared. The district attorney’s office dropped the charges against Meyers.

“Elated, ecstatic, relieved, very relieved,” Meyers sat after leaving court. “Too many thoughts to describe right now, I was figuring out every scenario, just wasn’t sure what to expect. I had an idea of what to expect but wasn’t very sure at the time when court started.”

In March, Meyer posted on his Facebook page that he didn’t return a VHS version of Tom Green’s “Freddy Got Fingered” in 2001 and noted that the video store closed down more than a decade ago.

Meyers story circulated online after he was arrested and his friend sent information to actor Tom Green, whose movie wasn’t returned. Green reached out to Meyers and even tweeted about the arrest saying “I just saw this and I am struggling to believe it is real.”RELATED: NC man arrested for not returning VHS rental from 2002; star offers to pay
