The Grant County Sheriff’s Office is alerting residents to a new scam in circulation. The scheme falsely claims that a federal bench warrant has been issued for the recipient’s arrest by Sheriff Alejandro Gomez, Badge Number 529, and demands a $3,000 payment to avoid arrest. Officials emphasize that law enforcement will never request payment by phone or email to resolve a warrant. The Sheriff’s Office urges residents to protect their personal information and refrain from sharing it with unknown individuals. For additional information or to report related incidents, residents are encouraged to contact the Grant County Sheriff’s Office directly.
