I just had a piece published in Chesapeake Life called “To Catch a Diplomat, the Other Iranian Crisis.” In 1935, Elkton’s new police chief, weeks on the job, encountered the ambassador from Iran speeding through town. Never having heard of diplomatic immunity, he proceeded to lock up the dignatary. This caused a major diplomatic incident, which resulted in the breaking of relations with the U.S. It’s a funny story, greatly reflective of 1930s policing and the Eastern Shore. Check out the Dec. edition of Chesapeake Life for the entire humorous story.
