Scam Alert - Impersonating Law Enforcement Officer

It has come to our attention that someone is calling citizens and representing themselves as named deputies from the Poinsett County Sheriff's Office. The unknown person has identified themselves as Deputy Simmons and claims that they are calling over a warrant. They continue to state that there is a warrant for the persons arrest in which can be resolved by paying money (bond) over the phone. They are impersonating a law enforcement officer with the intention of separating you from your money. This is a scam. Please immediately hang up. The Poinsett County Sheriff's will never contact you by phone asking for money. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.
