The Delta County Sheriff's Office is advising the community about a phone scam in the area. They say citizens are receiving calls from someone pretending to be a Deputy/Sergeant stating they missed a jury summons and have a warrant for their arrest. Citizens are then told to come to the Sheriff's Office with a card to pay to squash the warrant.
The Sheriff's Office reminds the public that it does NOT call people to tell them they have a warrant or request you to pay a fee with a debit or prepaid/gift card for any warrant. Officers say if you receive a call from someone making these claims to hang-up.
Citizens can also call dispatch at 970-874-2015 to verify if the call is legitimate and speak with the deputy who presumably made the call.
