Unexpectedly need to take gals to school last minute. Happen upon a bad accident on route. Looks as if a motorcycle ran into front quarter panel of dark gray small crossover vehicle turning lft onto Nan Gray. He appreciates hit going pretty fast. Said a prayer for all those involved. Called school to let them know gals would be tardy. They were aware of said accident. No tardiness to be given this morning.

850 Mom come over to ask me to call Jakob to make sure he was okay. She received a disturbing phone call from a scammer making her think that Jakob was involved in a bad accident and possibly facing jail time. Needed her to mail a change of clothes and cash overnight to keep him out of jail. She called police in town and in Jonesboro. Jonesboro police told her it was a scam. But told her to call her grandson to make sure he was okay.

Talked with Jakob. He’s doing good. Explained what was going on. It relieved Mom.
