Great work by your Newton County Sheriff's Office Deputies!

The U. S. Attorney's office is asking for a 6-year sentence for a Joplin man on a federal fi****ms charge, noting his long criminal history. The story is on The Turner Report. The link is in the comments.

Although property crime and persons crimes continue to trend down, we are seeing an increase again with fraud and forgery reports. Please remain vigilant with potential fraud.

I appreciate our deputies proactive efforts in reducing crime and making our community safer.

The Newton County Sheriff’s Office continues to see downward trends across most crime categories. However, we are beginning to see an increase in fraud and forgery-related offenses, and we encourage residents to remain vigilant for scams in our community.

Recently, we have received reports of callers claiming that residents have won the Publisher’s Clearing House Sweepstakes. Other common scams involve callers claiming that you missed jury duty or have an outstanding warrant. If you receive a call of this nature, hang up and contact your local law enforcement agency directly to verify whether the call was legitimate. The Newton County Sheriff’s Office will never ask you to send or provide money over the phone.

Our proactive approach to crime prevention remains a priority, and the continued reduction in overall property crime reflects the diligent efforts of our deputies. If you observe suspected criminal activity or have information regarding possible illegal drug activity, please contact Central Dispatch at 417-451-8333 to make a report.
