Full Notification

On Sunday July 26th a scam report was filed by a Johnson County resident. In that report the complainant advised they received a phone call and the caller ID showed 1-911. The male caller identified himself as an investigator with the Johnson County Sheriff's Office and that he was calling on a courthouse matter. The caller then tells the complainant that they missed jury duty and the court had issued a warrant for their arrest. The complainant is then offered a fine of $2,000.00 to avoid arrest on the warrant. This is a scam and do not fall victim to this extortion attempt! The Sheriff's Office will not call your residence if you have a warrant for your arrest. The court's would not conduct business in this manner. Do not engage in any prolonged communications with these callers. Hang up immediately and notify your local law enforcement so that we can warn our residents.
