What We Know: If you get a call or text claiming to be from the Greene County Sheriff’s Office and threatening you with an arrest warrant for missing jury duty, it’s a scam.
What It Means: Deputy Jonah Beadles tells KWTO News the sheriff’s office will never threaten someone in that manner. Most business is conducted in person.
What’s Next: If deputies do contact someone electronically or by phone, Beadles says they will clearly identify themselves and reference a specific incident.
If you suspect a call or text may be a scam, hang up and contact the agency directly.
