Court: Man With Twenty Year Old Warrant
[Written by Don Burgess]
20 years after a warrant was issued for his arrest, a man appeared in court this week.
The man, who is in his 60s, was initially charged with a speeding offence.
He told the court, “I was taken by surprise by this [his arrest]. Last night as I was sitting in my cell it came back to me.”
