(From the Hancock County Sheriff’s Office)

Our office has received several phone calls in regard to a subject going by the name of “Captain Emery”. They state they work at the Hancock County Sheriff’s Office, advise the caller of a warrant out for their arrest, and demand money to make the warrant go away.

THIS IS A SCAM!

We do not have anyone at our agency by that name. The Sheriff’s Office will not call you and advise you of a warrant or demand money.

Remember: do NOT give personal or financial information over the phone!
