The Woodford County Sheriff’s Office is warning the public about a scam where the caller is posing as a deputy.
Police said they got a call from a resident who said they had been contacted by a Sergeant Owens from the sheriff’s office.
They were told they had a warrant out for their arrest after they failed to show up for jury duty but they could get out of it if they paid a $4,000 fine.

The victim called the sheriff’s office to report the bizarre call.
Deputies said they called the number back and the person hung up after they were told they were talking to the real sheriff’s office.
