You mean it's that easy to capture people with warrants out on them? You simply have to call them and let them know. Who knew?

This man should be given 20 years in prison. I hope the courts will do just that.

This happened to my husband and the call comes from a private number. This is not only happening in the Kenly area because we live in a different county.
