The FBI Really Doesn’t Want Avon Man’s Money: Blotters

Online extortion and an argument in this week's blotters.

A man came into the Avon Police Department and reported he was on a website when he received an alert from the FBI that he was on an improper web site.

The alert was actually a virus with the FBI logo and was requesting money so the virus could be lifted.

The man was told that it was a common virus and he could call the FBI if he wanted, but he was best off going to a computer store to get the virus taken off.

A woman who slammed on the brakes on I-90 got the attention of the man driving behind her when he almost slammed into her car in the high speed lane. The car, a silver SUV, then pulled off the road and threw out the passenger—and his bags before getting off at the SR 83 exit in Avon.

The man was located at AM/PM store at the BP station and told police he had an argument with the woman. “She had enough” and made him get out on the side of I-90 before continuing on to choir practice.

The man’s mother came and picked him up.
