RCPD warns of officer impersonation scam

MANHATTAN (KSNT) – The Riley County Police Department (RCPD) is warning residents of a scam where the individual claims to be a patrol officer.

According to the RCPD, multiple citizens have reported that scammers are calling them claiming to be “Patrol Officer Davenport” and requesting money for a warrant stemming from PPP loans taken out during the COVID pandemic.
