The Northampton County Sheriff’s Department has received reports about a male caller identifying himself as Sergeant Mike Weston in regards to a county resident being wanted for failing to appear for a court hearing. The caller than gives instructions on leaving a cashier check at a drop location.

The public should be aware that this is a scam. The Sheriff’s Department does not call residents and solicit money in lieu of arrest.

Please report any suspicious solicitations to the Pennsylvania Attorney General’s office at 800-441-2555 or email them at scams@attorneygeneral.gov
