The Warner Robins Police Department would like to make the public aware of a scam artist that is making his way around our city.
49 year old Frank Garmon Jr. is known to local law enforcement for being a scam artist. His scam usually begins with a story about how he needs money. Sometimes he says he ran out of gas and needs some money to get up the road. Other times he tells people his vehicle broke down and he needs a jump start. Recently, he jumped into the passenger seat of a driver’s car and asked for money.
Garmon is not known to be violent or threatening.
Law Enforcement is doing everything we can to ensure the public is aware of this scam artist.
