WEST PALM BEACH — A Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office press release states that on May 26, 2020 a local resident received phone calls from individuals claiming to be U.S. Marshals and had warrants for the victim’s arrest.
These individuals, through threats and intimidation, coerced the victim to withdraw all the money from their account. After making the withdrawal, a dark colored vehicle pulled in front of the vehicle preventing the victim from traveling any further. A black male, (depicted left) exited the passenger’s side of his vehicle. The male walked up to the victim, flashed a badge and handcuffs, and asked for the money. Fearing the male and arrest, the victim handed over the money to the male.
The victim described the black male as approximately 6 feet tall, muscular build and having a ‘T21’ tattoo on his left index finger.
