Monroe, MI – Monroe County Sheriff Troy Goodnough is warning residents of another phone scam where the caller portrays himself as a Captain with the “Monroe County Sheriff’s Office”.
On Thursday, May 25th, a person claiming to be “Captain David Raymond” of the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office called a Monroe County citizen and told the victim that they failed to report for jury duty at Judge White’s court.
