From Chief Deputy James Stroope of the Brown County Sheriff’s Department:
We have been made aware of several phone calls from a 770 phone number that are portraying to be a Lt. Lawson with the Brown County Sheriff’s Office stating that you have missed jury duty and there is a warrant for your arrest.
This is a scam. Brown County Sheriff’s Office will not call to inform you of missed jury duty notices or inform you that there is a warrant for your arrest for such violation and request payment via the phone.
If you feel you are a victim of a phone scam, please report it so that the information can be passed on.
