Bowie Country Sheriff's Office

Bowie County Sheriff Jeff Neal issued a new Scam Alert late last week and Texarkana Texas Police have also put out a reminder on its Facebook page about scams that we should all know by now. However, sadly, if the scammers are still doing them, then they are still working.

Bowie County Sheriff Jeff Neal has issued the following Scam Alert about an old scam with a new twist.

The murder suspect that was the focus of a manhunt Saturday night August 6 was found dead on Sunday morning. The Bowie County Deputy that was shot by the suspect is in stable condition but your help is needed through a couple of different fundraisers.

A Bowie County Correctional Officer is behind bars and another is one is the loose for allegedly attempting to sneak pot and tobacco into the Bowie County Correctional Facility inside food and a milkshake. This act marks the second alleged attempt this week to sneak food inside the facility by a corrections officer.
