Phone Scam Circulating in Bossier Parish

Officials with the Bossier Parish Sheriff’s Office are warning Bossier residents about another round of phone scams circulating in the parish.

Detectives say the caller in this scam identifies himself as Josh Cathcart or Mike Smith associated with badge number 8. When answered, the caller tells the recipient that they did not show up for a scheduled court appearance, and now a warrant has been issued for their arrest. Money is then required for them to remain out of jail.

Detectives say one way for residents not to fall victim to this scam is to know that it is not the policy of the Bossier Sheriff’s Office to contact anyone by phone demanding payment for a fine or soliciting money.

If you feel you have fallen victim to this scam, please contact the Bossier Sheriff’s Office at (318) 965-3418 or (318) 965-2203.
