City Of Mobile Police Department: Warrants Scam Alert

Press release from the City of Mobile Police Department:

December 22, 2020

The Mobile Police Department needs to make the public aware of a scammer that is using a Mobile police officer name and calling people stating that there are warrants out for their arrest and that payment is required. The scammer is saying that his name is Sergeant Johnathan Mixon. 

The Mobile Police Department would never request payments from individuals, as that is something always handled by the courts. 

And, all police department numbers have a "208" prefix. The scammer is calling from a "202" number.

Anyone who has received this scam call is asked to report it to police immediately at 251-208-7211. That information with full description of the call could help identify the scammer. Potential charges, based on what is said and done, include impersonating a peace officer and theft of property.
