| Description | He was basking in the afterglow of a "trip of a lifetime" when he returned to Atlanta Monday.
Seventeen-year-old Stephen Kelsey, a rising senior at Woodward Academy, had just spent two weeks playing soccer in Madrid and London. He was exhausted. He was exhilarated.
What he didn't realize was that he was a wanted man.
Kelsey, a standout soccer player and solid student, had never been in trouble with the law. But U.S. Customs officials, checking his passport upon his arrival at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, found an outstanding arrest warrant.
They turned Stephen over to Atlanta police, who ferried him to the Fulton County Jail.
Kelsey was wanted for failing to appear in court on a traffic ticket — rolling through a stop sign.
One missing detail: The $175 fine had been paid. |
