An update from the Bell County Sheriff’s Office:

Someone is calling Perry County residents stating they are with Honorable Circuit Judge Alison Wells office. They are stating that outstanding warrants and excessive fines are due and must be paid.

This is a scam. No person from the courts or law enforcement will ever call requesting fines be paid over the phone.  Local numbers are also showing on caller ID. Please hang up immediately if you receive one of these calls and never share your personal or financial information over the phone in these instances.
