Remembering the Brave Today 🇺🇸

We pause to honor and remember the courageous men and women who laid down their lives in service to our country.

Memorial Day is more than the unofficial start of summer-it is a sacred time to reflect on the immense cost of our freedom. We owe an endless debt of gratitude to the fallen heroes who never made it home, and our thoughts are with the families they left behind.

As we spend time with loved ones today, let us hold their sacrifice close to our hearts.

"Home of the free, because of the brave."

Llano County Sheriff’s Office disrupt Fraud Scheme

On April 8, 2026, the Llano County Sheriff’s Office, Criminal Investigations Division, in coordination with the Texas Attorney General’s Office, successfully disrupted an ongoing fraud scheme targeting a Llano County resident.

The investigation revealed that a Llano County resident was manipulated by individuals posing as federal agents, resulting in a loss of approximately $25,000 in cryptocurrency. The suspects then attempted to further defraud the victim by directing him to purchase approximately $335,000 in gold, intended for pickup by a courier at the victim’s residence.

Through coordinated surveillance and investigative efforts, law enforcement identified and intercepted the suspect prior to arrival of the victim’s residence in Llano County. The suspect was identified as Dhyey Rakeshkumar Patel, and was taken into custody without incident.

Evidence gathered during the investigation indicated that Patel may have been involved in similar transactions prior to this incident. Patel was transported to the Llano County Jail and booked on the following charges:

Money Laundering ≥ $300,000, a 2nd Degree Felony,
Money Laundering ≥ $2,500 < $30,000, a State Jail Felony

The Llano County Sheriff’s Office reminds the public that scammers often impersonate government officials and may request payment through cryptocurrency, gift cards, or high-value assets such as gold. Citizens are urged to verify any such requests and report suspicious activity to law enforcement.

All subjects are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
