The Sheriff’s Department of Lawrence County has issued a warning to the community regarding a scam involving individuals impersonating law enforcement officers. Reports have surfaced indicating that these scammers are making phone calls to residents, claiming that there is an outstanding warrant for their arrest. The callers then suggest that the situation can be resolved by making a payment over the phone.
Authorities emphasize that legitimate law enforcement agencies will never reach out to individuals by phone concerning warrants, nor will they request payment in this manner. Residents are urged to remain vigilant and to refrain from sharing any personal or financial information with unknown callers. If you happen to receive such a suspicious call, it is advised that you reach out to the sheriff’s department directly at 931-762-3626 for assistance.
