Jefferson Police Department responds to a number of incidents

The Weaver Drive resident reported to the Jefferson Police Department that she had recently purchased cable service and later received a call from a “supposed contractor” representing the cable network service asking if he could come out and run a check on the installation. The complainant stated she was suspicious of the man having not requested such service and she began asking questions that he could not provide answers for, so she told him no and then hung up the phone.
