The Danville Sheriff’s Office is warning residents about a scam. According to a Facebook post from the sheriff’s office, calls are being placed to residents claiming to be a Danville Sheriff’s Office Deputy.

The individual making these calls is impersonating Sgt John Phelps and suggesting that jury duty was missed, and fines are owed. Do not give money to anyone making these claims.

The Danville Sheriff’s Office does not call people who miss jury duty. The Danville Circuit Court Clerk’s Office handles those matters.

In addition, the Sheriff’s Office will never call asking for money.
