Lieutenant Nathan Sheppard of the Portland Police Bureau would never do that. As a matter fact no member of the Portland Police Bureau will ever call and ask for money so you can avoid being arrested.

This is a SCAM. If this does happen to you call the City Non-Emergency Number at 503-823-3333 or make a report online.
