****ALL AREA RESIDENTS****
There is a scam reported to this department in reference to Jury Duty. A resident was contacted by a party who stated that he was Sgt. Brian Quinn of the Mckean County Sheriff's Office. This male then states that you have missed jury duty. The male then requests you to pay money (in this case $1,500.00) to lift the warrant for your arrest. The male then wants you to stay on the phone with him as you go to Dollar General or Walmart to purchase a payment card (Apple etc....)
This would not normal practice for any agency and is considered a scam. If you should experience this type of phone calls. Please do not act on this and contact your local police department.
