With an influx of community information, our deputies have been working tirelessly to address complaints of criminal activity across our county. Sheriff Smith took a proactive approach, with he himself stepping out of the office and handling several of these investigations, personally.
An anonymous tip of a person with several active warrants being in the Argo community was sent through our app, and Sheriff Smith responded to the area to follow up. After a short investigation, two arrests were made. Christopher McClellan was arrested on four counts of Animal Cruelty, and Donnie Williams was arrested on a warrant for failure to appear. These arrests were made possible by cooperation between our community, and our office, and this is what community policing is all about! Sheriff continued to respond to complaints, and that led him to the Townley community, where Sheriff Smith found Charles Raynes to be in possession of marijuana while on Patton Hill Road. These three arrests highlight the importance of when someone sees something, say something! We can’t be everywhere at once, but we can be where the issues are. By downloading our app, you can submit completely anonymous tips that get sent to the appropriate division. We’re proud to serve YOU, Walker County.
