On Tuesday, December 31, 2019, the Oxford Police Department took a walk in report of false pretenses.
The victim alleged that Shanterica Gillard (22 of Oxford, Mississippi) falsely advertised an apartment for sublease. The victim made arrangements with Gillard and paid $805.00 for the deposit and rent. Gillard took the money and informed the victim he had been scammed.
During a recorded conversation, Gillard falsely identified herself as an employee of the Oxford Police Department. An arrest warrant was issued for felony false pretenses, conspiracy to commit a crime, and impersonating a police officer.
On January 5, 2020, she was arrested and booked at the Lafayette County Detention Center. She was given a bond of $2,500 by a Justice Court Judge.
