Fake Warrant Calls in Texarkana

The Texarkana Arkansas Police Department is warning residents about a phone scam where callers pose as law enforcement officers.

The Texarkana Arkansas Police Department is warning residents about a phone scam where callers pose as law enforcement officers. They claim you’ve missed a subpoena or court summons from Judge Carlton Jones and demand large payments—often through crypto kiosks or account transfers—to avoid arrest.

Officials stress this is a scam. Real law enforcement will never ask for payment over the phone. If you get a call like this, hang up immediately. Never share personal or financial information.

To confirm any legal issue, contact the judge’s office or local authorities directly. Stay alert and help spread the word.
