He said a man claiming to be with the Unified Police Department called to collect a fine for missing jury duty. “The number came up, and it said Unified Sheriff’s Department,” Schaeffer said. “You know he identified himself, told me his badge number… I forget the name that he used. I think it was like Lt. Dan from Forrest Gump!”
