Police: Kansas woman involved in bail bond scam

SALINA – A 22-year-old Salina woman was the victim of a scam after she was threatened with going back to jail.

Salina police say the woman, who had bonded out of jail on a DUI arrest, was contacted by phone on Monday by a man claiming to be with the bail bondsman.

She said he told her there was a mix-up with her bond.

The caller said if she did not pay an additional $600 dollars via Western Union, she would have to return to jail.

The woman paid, and later learned she was scammed.

Authorities are investigating.
