In several calls in the past week, the man identifies himself as “Detective Garcia with the Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office” and asks for money to clear a warrant issued after missing jury duty or court. 

 

The Sheriff's office reminds everyone that law enforcement does not ask for money to clear a legal matter. Central Oregonians have fallen for the scam in the past and authorities encourage people to remain vigilant, share the information with others and report such calls to non-emergency dispatch at 541-693-6911.
