Sheriff Robert Oglesby and
Chief Dwayne Herrington would
like to once again remind the
citizens of Jenkins County of the
several different types of scams
that are being used to steal money
and identity from individuals.
The nature of these scams
range from the caller being from
a "government agency" i.e..
The Sheriffs Office, Federal
Courthouse, Border Patrol,
etc. Scammers are using actual
Sheriffs Office employee's
names to make the calls appear
legitimate.
“We have also had multiple
reports of individuals being
victims of online scams including
items for sale via social media
websites that request money
prior to delivering an item, dating
websites requesting money to
keep your personal information
private, and job postings that
request an individual’s personal,
identifying information and
the infomiation is then used
fraudulently,” Chief Herrington
warns.
“If you receive any such call/
email that may be similar to
these, hang up the phone or
delete the email,” Sheriff Oglesby
says. “You may also call us with
any questions you have about
the validity of these calls.” The
Sheriff’s office may be reached
at 478-982-4211 and the Millen
Police Department at 478-982-
2750.
FINALLY,
a car
stops
the train
in its
tracks!
In a twist of fate, the train was stopped
on the tracks again but not for obvious
reasons. This time, the train had to
wait until a car could be cleared from
the tracks. Early Wednesday morning
a vehicle misjudged the roadway and
drove off the paved vehicle crossing.
No one was hurt except for feelings and
pride. After an hour, the train could go
about its merry way. Photo by D. Hearn
School expansion on schedule
Construction crews are almost
finished with laying the block,
including the interior walls. The
hollow core roof structure should

The new sidewalks are near

with concrete and work crews are
installing drainage through the
remaining sidewalks. Photos by

at what was then The Bethany

time I wanted to be a nurse, but
after I graduated high school and

I was not cut out for nursing,

degree,” she told us. As the years
