Homewood Police Badge
The Homewood Police Department recently received a report of a scam by someone claiming to be the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Department.
The caller told the victim she had two fines, one for $489 and one for $412, as well as a warrant for missing jury duty. Per the caller's instructions, the victim sent the money to a Western Union account.
Homewood Police noted that Jefferson County Sheriff’s Department will never ask you to send a money order to take care of a warrant. If a citizen is in doubt if the caller is legitimate, call the sheriff’s department at 325-1450.
