Kerry Rowland
Bi-State Jail

Authorities arrested Kerry Rowland, 35, of Texarkana, for allegedly forwarding phone calls from a competing business to steal jobs. Rowland went to the company to see the owners about a job and, while there, asked to borrow the phone. He reportedly hit a few keys before returning the phone and leaving without placing a call. The business forwarded at least 26 calls to Rowland’s business phone number, where Rowland took the jobs, performed the work, and got paid. He’s in jail on a $300,000 bond.
