Scam Release
02/06/2014
The Sheriff wants the citizens of Columbia County to be aware that there is a scam happening in our county. A white male wearing a traffic safety vest, driving a white truck with emergency-type lights, is telling citizens that he works for the County Road Department, and that he has gravel for $300 and will put it in your driveway for you. Please be aware that he does not work for the County Road Department. The County Road Department cannot sell or give away gravel for any reason, unless you have a new culvert installed. Please call Central Dispatch at (870) 234-5655 if you see this individual or if he tries to sell you gravel.
