MONROE - On Wednesday, Jan. 15:
• Police were contacted at 12:02 p.m. by a 57-year-old Monroe man on the 300 block of 4th Street. The man said he had been having a Facebook relationship with another person claiming to be female, and to whom he had sent a check for travel expenses to come to Monroe. The man became suspicious when the check was not cashed so he canceled the check and the account. Investigation revealed that the female likely did not exist and the scam was being perpetrated in other locations.
