They had checks in 1928?


So get this, the cops in Elizabethton, Tennessee are trying to serve a warrant that was issued in 1928.

Confused? I was too. Let me explain.

In August of 1928, an arrest warrant was issued for a J.A. Rowland. Rowland was accused of writing a bad check of $30. Yes, $30. Keep in mind that was 1928 and $30 was way more back then.

This whole thing was started because clerks at the Glynn County Sheriff's Office in Brunswick, Georgia came across the warrant while going through old documents. They then mailed it out to the sheriffs in Tennessee.

The Sheriffs there are under legal obligation to find Rowland. Although he probably has since passed away.

So in other words, Rowland is wanted DEAD or ALIVE. (sorry, that was bad but I couldn't help it)
