Beware of Jury Duty Scams

Citizens are reminded that the St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office will not call or mail residents seeking cash or gift cards.

In July, a Leonardtown resident received a phone call from a person falsely representing themselves from the St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office who advised the victim fines were owed because the person “failed to appear for jury duty today.” The victim was then advised to go to Food Lion to purchase four MoneyPaks gift cards for “failure to appear fines.”

Another phone scam earlier this year also falsely purported to be the St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office, including the name of a specific sergeant. Victims were told that they failed to report for jury duty and had active warrants for their arrest. Victims were told to purchase MoneyPaks from stores and to contact a fraudulent bond company to pay the predetermined fee to have the warrant recalled.

Again, the St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office will not call citizens asking for money or MoneyPaks. Residents are also reminded not to give out personal information over the phone to unknown parties.  

If you have been a victim of a jury duty scam, another phone scam or have any information regarding such incidents, call the Sheriff’s Office at 301-475-8008. Citizens may remain anonymous and contact Crime Solvers at 301-475-3333, or text a tip to “TIP239” plus their message to “CRIMES” (274637). Through the Crime Solvers Program, tipsters are eligible for an award of up to $1,000 for information about a crime in St. Mary’s County that leads to an arrest or indictment.

Cpl. Kristi Nelson makes the final installation of a new car seat for two-year-old David Hellerman of Leonardtown.

The St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office installs child car seats for free, but citizens must make an appointment. To schedule an appointment, email safecarseats@stmarysmd.com and include your name, address, telephone number, email address, and type and number of car seats. 

Maryland’s Child Passenger Safety Law:

• Every child under 8 years old must ride in a booster seat or other appropriate child safety seat* unless the child is 4 feet, 9 inches or taller.

• Every child from 8 to 16 years old who is not secured in a car seat must be secured in the vehicle’s seat belt.

The back seat is the safest. Children under 13 years old should ride in the back seat.

*A child safety seat includes infant seats, convertible seats, forward-facing seats, booster seats, or other federally approved safety devices.

Deputies who are Certified Child Passenger Safety Seat Technicians conduct these inspections. The inspection will take approximately 20 minutes and it will help avoid a needless tragedy.
