Sheriff Warns Of New Scam

The Benton County Sheriff’s Office recently received information regarding several fundraising scams.

The only solicitation the Benton County Sheriff’s Office is involved in pertains to the Arkansas Sheriff’s Association annual fundraising drive.

A deputy will accompany a representative of the association, in person, seeking financial support from area businesses to help fund drug and alcohol programs in our schools, as well as the Arkansas Sheriff’s Ranch programs that provide a home, stable environment and education to at-risk children in the state.

Citizens are encouraged to call the BCSO if they are contacted by anyone representing themselves as raising funds for the Benton County Sheriff’s Office.
