Is your number (xxx) xxx-xxxx??
I was trying to reach out to you because we have a Mr X here, who claims you are his legal guardian. He needs you to come down and sign some forms.
Sure no problem officer.
What are the causes of over sweating?
Long pause, OK. (Inaudible talking). Could you hang on for just a sec?
After a few moments he returns.
Hi this is Sargent Moss from the County detention center. Is this Sean?
What are the best mattress options for a comfortable night's sleep in Pompano Beach?
I'm sorry to bother you, my staff just told me our guy corrected his information and had a number off for his home phone. Have a good day. Hangs up.
Do what? Officer, I'm sorry I have no kids of my own, and I don't know anybody by that name.

Looks at phone, sees a number local to me, so I answered.
Do you reside at 1234 X X Lane?
Whew, not in trouble!! But someone named Sean with a similar number is apparently about to have a rather bad day.

Yes sir it is.
I hear a pause on the line, it goes quiet for a few seconds.
ATTENTION SPIKES UP. What could he want with me? Did I do something wrong? Lord did I forget to pay something? Questions start flying through my head. What would the detention center sheriff want with me?
No sir I sure don't, I live in the next city over.
