According to the sheriff’s office, scammers are calling residents, identifying themselves as Washington County law enforcement, and telling the residents they have a warrant for their arrest.

The residents are told they will be arrested unless they comply with the scammer’s demands, which typically consist of sending money.

The sheriff’s office says it does not conduct business in this manner.

Residents who are contacted by someone believed to be a scammer can contact the sheriff’s office at 979-277-6251 or the Washington County dispatch non-emergency number at 979-277-7373.
