December 21, 2022 - The Tuolumne County Sheriff Department reports we have recently been made aware of a scam affecting Tuolumne County residents where a scammer is calling and identifying themselves as a Lieutenant Bridges from the Tuolumne County Sheriff’s Office, and attempting to gain money from residents by telling them they missed court and must pay to avoid arrest/warrant.

We want to remind everyone the sheriff’s office will never ask you to pay money in order to avoid arrest/warrant.

If you are ever in doubt about information from someone claiming to be with Tuolumne County Sheriff’s Office you can call our dispatch line 209-533-5815 to confirm.
