Sheriff’s office warns about scam calls from someone acting as sheriff employees

On July 6 and 7, several Wood County residents have reported receiving phone calls from a male with a southern accent stating that they are an employee of the Wood County Sheriff’s Office and need to speak with the resident about a legal matter. 

This subject is using names of current employees, such as Captain Terry James, Lt. Rod Konrad, and Deputy Isaiah Loar. If you receive a call like this, understand that it is most likely a scam. 

If you have questions, call the Wood County Sheriff’s Office and ask if someone did call. The Wood County Sheriff’s Office will not leave a voicemail and just say you have a legal matter, we will inform you of what you are needed for.
