80-Year Old Arrest Warrant Still Valid

An arrest warrant from 1928 has turned up at a coastal police storage room, and now authorities are trying to execute it. The Carter County Sheriff's Department of Tennessee is trying to serve an 80-year-old warrant for the arrest of a man who wrote a $30 bad check, although unsure if he is alive. The warrant, issued in August 1928, calls for the arrest of J.A. Rowland. It says he owes $30 for the bad check, $2 for the arrest fee and 50 cents each for the affidavit and warrant. Clerks at the Glynn County Sheriff's Office in Brunswick, Ga., recently found the warrant buried in a records storage room while cleaning and mailed it to Tennessee.
