An increased number of folks have recently reported receiving similar phone calls. Sheriff Tiller would like to remind everyone that a legitimate law enforcement authority does not call you to tell you that you have an outstanding warrant or that you have missed jury duty and then suggest or offer to resolve the matter over the phone or by sending any money. Please do not engage with these scammers and please do not send money. Have a blessed Thanksgiving everyone.

WARNING! It has came to the attention of the Lewis County Sheriff’s Office that individuals in this county and individuals in other parts of this state have recently been receiving concerning calls. It is reported that there caller i.d. is showing our name and our number. Obviously the culprits are spoofing our phone number. The reports indicate they are being threatened to be arrested if they don't cooperate, that there are warrants for them, that they have unpaid tickets and so on. They are instructed to send money to resolve the issue. THIS IS A SCAM. WE DO NOT EVER CALL DEMANDING MONEY OR GIFT CARDS OR ANYTHING LIKE THIS TO RESOLVE A LEGAL MATTER! The folks doing this are most likely not even in this country. Please do not fall for this scam. Feel free to call us directly at 931-795-5096 with any other concerns or questions.

Some Info on the latest scam being reported to us today. A Lewis County citizen provided these images and this info. As you can see the scammers are making good attempts at trying to make these documents look official. The scammers are also providing a QR code that they are requesting potential victims to use to send money. We wanted to share to make everyone aware of these types of ongoing scams. Do not send gift cards, do not wire money, & when the scammers threaten you with a criminal arrest warrant against you just remember, law enforcement agencies and/or courts do not call you and tell you that there is a warrant for your arrest unless you send the money. One final note, after this person hung up on the scammer, a second scam caller called this person saying they have their address and threatened violence to them unless they sent money and the scammer demanded an amount that was less than the amount shown in the original document. As usual, these numbers shows up on your caller i.d. as private or unknown but sometimes the scammers can spoof another phone number or maybe even the sheriff's office phone number and make it appear as if the call is coming from a legitimate number. Please do not become a victim of these scammers.

National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week, often called Dispatcher Appreciation Week, in 2026 is observed from April 12 to April 18, 2026. This week honors the "first" first responders—the 911 dispatchers, call-takers, and telecommunicators—who work 24/7 to provide essential support to public safety personnel and the community. The Lewis County Sheriff's Office would like to THANK and show our appreciation for all Dispatchers and especially our local Hohenwald Dispatch!!!

Our supply of firewood for the wood program has built back up significantly since the recent ice storm. Leading up to the storm, Sheriff Matt Tiller removed income limits to allow all Lewis County citizens access to this free service provided by the Sheriffs Department.

We were able to get citizens between 250-300 ranks of wood leading up to and during the storm. The inmates in this program worked extremely hard gathering and loading this wood for the citizens. We were able to provide citizens around 500 total ranks of wood this winter.

We were down to having zero available wood as a result of the storm and have built it back up to approximately 100 ranks as we prepare the supply for next winter. We are thankful to the citizens that donate the wood to this program. Have a blessed day!
