🚨 SCAM ALERT 🚨

Residents throughout Denton County are receiving phone calls from individuals claiming to be deputies with the Sheriff’s Office or other law enforcement agencies.

These callers often claim that you missed federal jury duty, failed to appear in court, or owe fees for a missed court appearance. They use fear and intimidation tactics to pressure victims into making immediate payments or providing personal information.

The scammers may sound convincing because they often use publicly available information found online or through social media to make their claims appear legitimate.

Remember:

✅ Law enforcement agencies will not call you demanding payment over the phone.
✅ Law enforcement will not request payment through gift cards, cryptocurrency, wire transfers, or payment apps.
✅ Never provide personal, financial, or banking information to an unsolicited caller.
✅ If you receive one of these calls, hang up immediately and contact the agency directly using a verified phone number.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Roanoke Police Officer and all those involved.

In the early morning hours of September 20, 2026, an officer with the Roanoke Police Department was involved in a serious motor vehicle collision.

Officers were conducting traffic enforcement along SH 114 in response to numerous complaints involving motorcycles traveling at high speeds in the area while attending an event at Texas Motor Speedway.

The officer, who was operating a police motorcycle, attempted to stop a motorcycle when the rider fled from the officer. During the incident, both the officer and the fleeing motorcyclist were involved in a collision with another vehicle on SH 114, just west of I-35W.

The officer was transported to a local hospital and is currently listed in critical condition.

The suspect is in custody and is also being treated at a local hospital for injuries sustained in the crash.

At this time, we do not have any additional information regarding the collision or the officer’s condition. We ask that you keep our officer, his family, and the entire Roanoke Police Department in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

Ours thoughts are prayers with the Denton County Sheriff's Office and Robin’s family.

It is with heavy hearts and deep sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved Communications Manager Robin Thomas.

Throughout her courageous and hard-fought battle with leukemia, Robin displayed remarkable strength, grace, resilience, and a profound love for life, inspiring all who knew her. We mourn her loss deeply and hold her memory close.

Our deepest sympathies are with her family, loved ones, and everyone whose life was enriched by knowing her. We ask that you keep them in your thoughts during this difficult time.

May we remember Robin not only for what she accomplished, but for the lives she touched and the lasting difference she made.
