Local Scam Alert Our office is aware of a scam targeting family or friends of Adults in Custody (AIC) that have been booked in the last 24 hours. The scammers pretend to be a Sergeant with our office and claim if the family member gives them money (usually around $500 or more), the AIC can be released on a Pretrial bracelet. This is not how our amazing Pretrial program works. If you get a suspicious call like this or have questions or concerns about our programs or a loved one in custody, hang up and call our office directly. How to know if information is really from the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office: • It is on our official website: lincolncountysheriff.net/ • Our staff can verify the information is true.
