\nThe Northampton County Sheriff\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n

The public should be aware that this is a scam. The Sheriff\u2019s Department does not call residents and solicit money in lieu of arrest.<\/p>\n
