🚨 SCAM ALERT 🚨

The Duchesne County Sheriff's Office has received reports of individuals posing as Duchesne County deputies and contacting residents by phone. The caller claims there is an active warrant for the person's arrest and demands immediate payment to avoid being taken into custody.

⚠️ THIS IS A SCAM. ⚠️

The Duchesne County Sheriff's Office will NEVER call you to demand payment for a warrant, missed jury duty, fines, or any other legal matter. We do not accept payment over the phone, through gift cards, cryptocurrency, wire transfers, or payment apps.

If you receive a call like this:
• Hang up immediately.
• Do not provide personal or financial information.
• Do not send money.
• Report the incident to local law enforcement.

Scammers often use caller ID spoofing to make it appear as though they are calling from a legitimate government or law enforcement number. Even if the number looks official, do not trust the caller.

Please share this post to help protect your friends, family, and neighbors from becoming victims of fraud.

If you have questions or believe you may have been targeted by this scam, contact the Duchesne County Sheriff's Office directly at (435) 738-2015.

As we head into Memorial Day Weekend, the Duchesne County Sheriff’s Office would like to remind everyone to celebrate responsibly and stay safe.

Memorial Day weekend is statistically one of the deadliest weekends of the year for serious injuries and fatal crashes. If you choose to drink, please do so responsibly and never drink and drive. Plan ahead, use a designated driver, and watch out for one another.

We want everyone to enjoy the long holiday weekend while honoring the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country.

Have fun, stay safe, and Happy Memorial Day
from the Duchesne County Sheriff’s Office

On April 1, 2026, the Duchesne County Sheriff’s Office, in partnership with Tri-County Health, conducted a joint compliance operation in Duchesne City focused on preventing illegal sales to minors.

During the investigation, it was determined that Best Convenience was selling va**ng products and other prohibited items to juveniles. Authorities also confirmed the business was operating without a valid license.

The store owner was taken into custody and is currently facing criminal charges.

We remain committed to safeguarding the health and well-being of our community—especially our youth—and will continue working with our partners to address violations and promote a safe environment for all.
