Spring Hill, TN – The SHPD is warning citizens of a scam that is making its rounds again. In the last month, we took two reports where one victim lost 2500 dollars because of a “missed jury duty” scam. The scammer asked the other victim for $9000, but the victim did not pay. That scammer claimed to be from the Williamson County Sheriff’s Office. In the instance where the victim lost money, the suspect called the victim and told them they had missed jury duty. They claimed to be from the Davidson County Sheriff’s Office and had the actual DCSO number appear on the screen. The suspect told the victim that they could come to a jail facility in Nashville to turn themselves in or pay the cost of the “warrant.” The victim was told to go to Walmart, where they used Western Union to send payment to the scammer.

Please follow this advice from the real WCSO:

If you receive a call stating that you missed jury duty and now have a warrant, hang up. It’s a scam.

Scammers are pretending to be deputies or court officials, demanding money to “clear a warrant” or “avoid arrest.” They may even spoof real phone numbers to sound convincing.

Here’s the truth:

✔️ The Williamson County Sheriff’s Office will never call and ask for payment.

✔️ You won’t be asked to pay with gift cards, Bitcoin, Venmo, or wire transfers.

✔️ If you really miss jury duty, you’ll get something in writing, not a threatening phone call.

Don’t fall for it. Spread the word. Warn your family. And if you get one of these calls, report it.

Spring Hill, TN – As summer kicks off and families hit the road for vacation, the Spring Hill Police Department is partnering with the Tennessee Highway Safety Office (THSO) to remind motorists to Click It or Ticket. From May 20 through June 2, participating agencies across the state will increase seat belt enforcement as part of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s (NHTSA) nationwide mobilization.

One focus of the Click It or Ticket campaign is nighttime enforcement. NHTSA data shows a higher number of unrestrained passenger vehicle occupant fatalities happen at night. Also, seat belt use differs among females and males. According to Tennessee’s Integrated Traffic Analysis Network (TITAN), 43% of males killed in Tennessee crashes last year were unrestrained. Of females killed in crashes, 35% were not buckled up. Participating law enforcement agencies will be taking a no-excuses approach to seat belt law enforcement, writing citations day and night.

Spring Hill, TN – Due to the poor quality of images/video this is more of an advisory. On August 2nd, the victim was shopping at Publix and was facing away from her purse that was in her shopping cart. The two individuals above in the video walked close to her. The male subject reached into the victim’s purse and took her wallet. It is believed that the female subject in the video was a “look-out.”

The victim began to receive fraud alerts from her financial institutions that the victim’s card was attempting to be used at Wal-Mart in Spring Hill for purchases totaling $2000. There may be a third suspect involved that entered Wal-Mart (pictured above).

Please watch this informational video from the Franklin Police Department on how to take precautions against purse thefts.

Spring Hill, TN – We have taken several reports from people concerning a nationwide scam involving people applying for a job posting online and “getting hired on the spot.” The scammer then sends the person a check (the check is counterfeit) with instructions to keep part of the money for “your services” and then send the rest to someone else. It can take some time for the bank to discover this, but once they do, the bank will want you to repay the full amount. A legitimate employer will never ask you to do this.
