Full Notification

On April 11th, two reports of phone scams were taken in Fayette County. In both incidents the caller identified himself as Sgt. Wesley Mitchell from the Fayette County Sheriff's Office. He asked both victims to obtain a prepaid card for $240.00 to avoid being arrested on a warrant for missing jury duty. One of the two victims followed his instructions and is now out $240.00. The second victim called 911and had a deputy dispatched to their home. Fayette County Sheriff's Office does not have a Sgt. Mitchell and would never ask for money to drop a warrant. Please call 911 immediately if contacted under similar circumstances.
