It is that time of year again! Our annual toy drive begins October 12th and runs through December 13th. We have boxes at Renasant Bank in Newton, The Jones Center at Ichauway, and the Baker County Sheriff’s Office in the Courthouse. We ask that you bring your new, unwrapped toys to one of these locations or if you prefer, you can give a monetary donation directly to the Sheriff’s Office. The donations go towards bicycles and riding toys for the little ones. As always, thank you for anything you might can help us with and in making this another great Christmas for Baker County children!

The Baker County Sheriff’s Office was just notified of another scam. This one involves the scammers pretending to be from Amazon. The lady was transferred several times and ended up talking to a man that identified himself as a DEA officer and even sent her a picture of his badge. Scared her with the threats of money laundering charges and with warrants that were going to be issued. The rest is typical. She had to pay money to take care of the charges, wasn’t allowed to get off the phone with him until the money was sent, and was told not to tell anyone. This particular scammer requested she mail him the requested money to an address in California.

Just to reiterate, law enforcement will never call you and request money to dismiss charges or warrants. If you receive this type of call, you can come into the Sheriff’s Office while you are talking to him or come to us BEFORE you send money. I even had one individual do a three way call while the scammer was on the line. He hung up very quickly! Our office number is 229-734-3003.
