If you get a phone call from a person claiming to be a St. Joseph County Deputy, it is a scam.
Several residents recently called the Pulaski County Sheriff’s Department to report that a person claiming to be Deputy Shane Morris from the St. Joseph County Sheriff’s Department is threatening arrest warrants and demanding money. Police say these calls are fraudulent and to not follow the caller’s instructions.
If you receive a similar phone call, officers urge you to hang up. A sheriff’s deputy will never call a resident to alert them of a warrant. Those documents are court certified and delivered in person by a police officer. Further, a deputy will not demand money from a citizen.
If you have any questions, call the Pulaski County Sheriff’s Department at (574) 946-6655.
