Scam Alert!

We are currently experiencing numerous scam calls in our area.  The scammer has cloned our main office line 218-726-2340.  They call and claim you missed a court date, resulting in a warrant for your arrest.  They prompt you to pay money via a third-party app to clear the warrant up. 

The Sheriff's Office wants to remind and advise the public that law enforcement does not call members of our community to ask for payment over the phone.  If you receive one of these calls, please do not provide any sort of payment by cash, credit card, check, gift card, etc. 

Any questions regarding payment of fines should be directed to court administration.  If you have received one of these calls and would like to make a police report, please dial 911.
