FRANKLIN, Tenn. (WTVF) — The Williamson County Sheriff's Office is warning about a recent scam making its rounds in the area.
The scam involves someone calling falsely claiming to be Sergeant Ben Piper in a new jury duty scam.
The sheriff's office wants to make sure you know that Sgt. Piper is not making these calls and that they would never request payment to avoid an arrest.
If you receive one of these calls, end it and contact the sheriff's office immediately.
There are still so many families in East Tennessee hurting following the floods from Hurricane Helene in September. That made this year's running of the Santa Train extra special for many families in the northeast part of the state. This special Santa Express has been making an annual run in part of Appalachia for over 80 years.
