When the 52-year-old discovered a box of discarded VHS porn tapes near her South Carolina home, Ellis did what most people would do: She left them at the curb for the next garbage pickup.
Well, actually, that is not what Ellis did.
She actually went door-to-door in her Gaffney neighborhood seeking to sell the tapes to neighbors, one of whom called cops about Ellis’s unwanted solicitation.
When a Gaffney Police Department officer questioned Ellis, seen above, she explained that “she was trying to sell some porn VHS tapes.” Since she did not possess a license for such activity, Ellis was arrested for soliciting sales without a permit.
A cop seized 12 VHS tapes from Ellis, who was seeking to make some quick cash by peddling the videos for $5 apiece. She was apparently unaware that a) people no longer pay for porn; and b) nobody owns a VCR.
