Multiple reports today of someone claiming to be one of our Sergeants (and using his name), claiming that people missed court or jury duty and need to pay a fine to avoid arrest. This is NOT US and we NEVER call people about matters like this.

Scam reported TODAY. Caller ID showed Sheriff’s Office number, caller claimed to be a Deputy and there were warrants for the person called, wanted money or person would be arrested. Total SCAM, not us, crooks decide what number shows up in your caller ID.
