Adair County Sheriff’s Office
By Sheriff Josh Brockman

Today we have received several phone calls from Adair County  residents stating they have received calls from Adair County  Sheriff’s Office .  These calls consist of people being told they have summons or warrants on them that do not exist.  These callers are using employees names of the Sheriff’s Office .

The Sheriff’s Office will not ever call and ask you for personal information over the phone.  We do not accept payment for fines over the phone by credit card nor do we ask for them.   We do not call and tell you we have a warrant and are on our way if you don’t pay as we ask.  If you receive one of these calls please do diligence in making sure you are speaking with someone from the Sheriff’s Office .

The number that is showing up on most of these calls is 270-290-1369 . We believe they are using an app to change number and we are trying to track down the source at this time .
