A local woman who wishes to remain anonymous received a scary telephone call one morning last week when an unknown caller posing as a federal law officer contacted her.  The caller told her there was a federal warrant out for her arrest for drug trafficking, but paying the $15,000 fine up front could "make it all go away."  The woman in question didn't fall for the scam, and contacted the Sheriff's office and the FBI.  If you receive the same call, note the Washington DC phone number it will come from, hang up, and contact the nearest FBI field office.
