🚨 SCAM WARNING: DO NOT PAY ANYONE FOR ANKLE MONITORS 🚨
The Cleveland County Sheriff's Office (CCSO) is receiving reports of a scam where individuals are told that an inmate can be released on an ankle monitor if a fee is paid at Walgreens or another store.
This is NOT legitimate.
CCSO does not:
• Release inmates on ankle monitors
• Require payments at Walgreens, CVS, Walmart, or any retail store
• Request gift cards, prepaid cards, or payment codes
If you get a call or message like this:
• Don’t send money
• Don’t buy gift cards
• Hang up
• Report it to CCSO
Help spread the word to protect our community.
