!!!Attention!!!

It seems that scammers are back at it in our area. We are getting calls that a scam is going around again about missing jury duty. We will not call you about missing jury duty nor do we charge fines through the sheriff’s office for missing jury duty. Please do not give your information or payment on these calls. If you think it could be real then please call the office or the court clerk to confirm but do not give your account information to these callers.

Today we had the honor of dedicating the Poteau River bridge (North of Hwy 83) to our fallen brother, Deputy Walker LeMay. We want to thank Rick West for his work in getting this approved and everyone who showed up.

Forever “404”

K9 Jenny and her partner will be doing mock traffic stops and fugitive apprehension practice today in Poteau across from 7 brew between 12-1 pm. They just wanted to notify the public and let everyone know there is no emergency.

Early on the morning of September 22, 2026 our office was made aware of a threat directed to Shady Point Public Schools. Deputies from our office along with the FBI began looking into this threat. A suspect was identified and subsequently arrested. There is currently no other identifiable threat to the school or public.

On August 16th 2026 a Deputy from our agency conducted a traffic stop that resulted in a fi***rm being brandished at the Deputy resulting in an Officer Involved Shooting.

It has been brought to our attention that we have not released the information to the public. Our office cannot and does not investigate Officer Involved Shootings. We request the OSBI to do so and we wait for them to give a media release on the incident.

This is pretty standard if there is not an immediate threat to the public such as if a suspect escapes arrest and poses a threat to others. This was not the case in this incident and our office prioritizes the safety of the citizens of LeFlore County and would never jeopardize their safety by not informing the public.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

LeFlore County is now under a burn ban, effective August 10, 2026.
