Based on the Deputies’ investigation, the driver was issued a citation for ‘Failure to Yield to Pedestrian.’

On June 9th, Deputies investigated fraud in the 4100 block of Inverness Street. The caller reported receiving an e-mail for an order confirmation they did not make. They then contacted the number provided and were swindled into providing their bank account information. A large deposit was placed into their account, and they were instructed to withdraw the excess cash and mail it to an address out of state. The victim complied but was contacted by the shipping company advising the address they were attempting to send the package to was flagged as fraudulent. A further check of the victim’s accounts revealed that nearly $30,000 had been fraudulently withdrawn. The victim is working with the bank to recover the funds and does not wish to pursue charges.
