  • We have had multiple reports of an individual calling and claiming to be from the Haywood County Sheriff's Office (specifically Chief Trantham or Lt. Greathouse). They are trying to convince our citizens to pay them money or go to jail because they have missed jury duty. Additionally, they are calling from a number that rings back to our dispatch or from a private number. THIS IS A SCAM. No one from our office will ever call and request money for any reason. You may also reach out to law enforcement if you feel you have been a victim of this scam. You can reach the Haywood County Sheriff's Office Non-Emergency line at 828-452-6666.
