๐’๐‚๐€๐Œ ๐€๐‹๐„๐‘๐“: Yesterday, deputies made contact with ๐’๐‚๐€๐Œ ๐€๐‹๐„๐‘๐“: Yesterday, deputies made contact with a community member who reported losing $2,100 after sending money to an individual falsely claiming to be an employee of the Alachua County Sheriffโ€™s Office. According to the report, the caller told the victim that their incarcerated family member could be released from jail if a bond was paid through a digital payment service. The caller also provided details about a supposed probation officer, a Jail Diversion Program, and community service requirements the loved one would need to complete after payment was made. We want to be clear; it is not standard practice for law enforcement to provide information about probation eligibility or diversion programs in this manner. Itโ€™s also important to understand that certain arrest information is public and accessible online, including names, dates of birth, and home addresses. Scammers may use this information to make their claims appear credible and to create pressure during already stressful situations. The Alachua County Sheriffโ€™s Office, and law enforcement agencies in general, will never call and demand payment over the phone under any circumstance. Scammers can manipulate caller ID to make it appear as though the call is coming from our agency, and they may even provide a fake badge number. These tactics are designed to build trust, but they are not indicators of legitimacy. These scams are intended to create a sense of urgency and fear, making it harder to pause and verify the information. If you receive a call like this, we encourage you to hang up. If the individual continues to call or text, you do not need to engage. Instead, contact our office directly using a trusted number. You can reach our non-emergency line at 352-955-1818, option 5. You will never be penalized for calling to verify information, and our team can quickly confirm whether a situation is legitimate. #scams #scamalert #publicsafety #publicservice #alachuacounty

Henderson conducted a traffic stop on a vehicle in the 6700 block of 8th Ave regarding a traffic infraction. After making contact with the driver and passengers, a K9 Deputy and his agency-issued drug detection K9 arrived on scene. The K9 was utilized to conduct an open-air sniff of the vehicle, where he gave a positive alert to the odor of illegal narcotics emitting from the vehicle. One of the passengers, 36-year-old Kristopher Padgett, was observed by law enforcement to remove his bag and leave it in the vehicle before exiting the car. A probable cause search of the vehicle was conducted, and inside the bag belonging to Padgett, deputies located a handgun. A query of Padgett revealed he is a convicted felon. Padgett was arrested and charged with Possession of a Weapon or Ammo by a Convicted Felon.
