SCAM ALERT – PLEASE SHARE

🚨SCAM ALERT – PLEASE SHARE🚨
We’ve been made aware of a phone scam happening here in Fleming County.
Scammers are calling from “No Caller ID” numbers and pretending to be from law enforcement. They’ll claim that someone you know has been arrested and that you’re listed as an emergency contact. They may even give real names, badge numbers, and details that make it sound believable — then tell you the person can be released if you pay a bond or fee.
⚠️Don’t fall for it!
• Law enforcement will never ask for money or bond payments over the phone.
• Never share your personal, credit card, or banking information.
• If you get a call like this, hang up and contact our office directly to verify.
Please help us spread the word so no one in our community becomes a victim of this scam.

Letter to the Editor


To the Editor,

The Fleming County Sheriff’s Office is committed to keeping our community safe, and a major part of that mission is combating the flow of illegal drugs in our county. Over the past several months, my deputies and I have conducted multiple drug investigations, leading to several arrests for drug trafficking and possession. These arrests are the result of diligent investigative work, community tips, and our ongoing effort to hold drug dealers accountable.

Illegal drugs destroy lives, fuel crime, and threaten the safety of our families. We want the people of Fleming County to know that we will not tolerate this kind of activity in our community. Our office is dedicated to enforcing the law fairly and aggressively to remove dangerous substances from our streets.

Transparency and accountability remain our top priorities. We believe the public has the right to know what is happening in their community, and we will continue to provide updates on significant law enforcement actions. We encourage residents to report suspicious activity and work alongside us to make Fleming County a safer place for everyone.

I want to commend the hardworking deputies of the Fleming County Sheriff’s Office for their dedication and professionalism in these cases. Their commitment to public safety is unwavering, and I am proud of their efforts to protect our community.

We will continue this fight, and we appreciate the community’s ongoing support. Together, we can stand against crime and make a lasting difference.

Sincerely,
Sheriff Tim Smith
Fleming County Sheriff’s Office
