McDowell County Sheriff's Office has been notified that several citizens are receiving phone calls from individuals claiming to be local, federal or state law enforcement officers stating there are warrants for their arrest unless money is paid.
Law enforcement agencies do not do this. Calls like these are not legitimate, so please call 652-2235 and inquire as to the call.
At NO TIME will the Sheriff’s Office call and request money over the phone. Citizens are also receiving calls stating they have missed jury duty, then requesting to meet or send money. Again, we DO NOT do this…. If ever you question, please call and ask at 652-2235.
