The man says you must turn yourself into the sheriff’s office or purchase a voucher from Safeway to forward as a payment. The number coming up on caller ID has been 209-265-6094. The Sheriff’s Office advises residents to never give out personal information if contacted via phone and call your local law enforcement agency when in doubt if it is a legit phone call.
