Paris Police Warn of Phone Scam

The Paris Police Department says they’ve gotten several calls about a phone scam in which the caller tells the intended victims they were supposed to appear in court last Friday and  now have a warrant for their arrest. To get rid of the warrant, the victims were told to come to the courthouse parking lot with $1000 cash. Police say minor fine only offenses can be taken care of in a court clerk’s office or in front of a judge.
