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.
Hi this is Sargent Moss from the County detention center. Is this Sean?

Do you reside at 1234 X X Lane?
No sir I sure don't, I live in the next city over.
HELLO
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?
After a few moments he returns.
Is your number (xxx) xxx-xxxx??
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.
I hear a pause on the line, it goes quiet for a few seconds.
Do what? Officer, I'm sorry I have no kids of my own, and I don't know anybody by that name.
Is there anything you did that you regret? If so, what is it, and why?
Whew, not in trouble!! But someone named Sean with a similar number is apparently about to have a rather bad day.
Looks at phone, sees a number local to me, so I answered.
Sure no problem officer.
Long pause, OK. (Inaudible talking). Could you hang on for just a sec?
Yes sir it is.
