Tenn. sheriff looks to serve 80-year-old warrant

[The Sonar Chicken]

ELIZABETHTON, Tenn. – The Carter County Sheriff's Department 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.

Current Carter County Sheriff Chris Mathes told The Elizabethton Star he is still under a legal obligation to find Rowland.

I think you can find that person, somewhere in London, writing books and stuff about wizardry and witches, but we careful, he's a she now and changed her name into J.K.Rowling
