Wilcox County Sheriff Larry Colston is warning residents to beware of scammers claiming to be from the sheriff’s office. The scammers are calling people and telling them that there’s a warrant out for their arrest — and if they don’t send money — they’ll be put in jail.
Sheriff Colston says no law enforcement agency calls people about arrest warrants — or sending money. He advises residents to just hang up if someone calls with such a claim.
