- On Thursday, November 7, 2024, around 4pm, Deputy Josh Travis received a scam complaint involving a local citizen purchasing a tractor via Facebook Marketplace. His investigation has revealed an unknown party posed as a legitimate business with a professional looking website which was connected to a Facebook Marketplace advertisement for tractors and construction equipment which were being offered for sale. The local citizen engaged in electronic communication with someone he believed was connected to the business and wire transferred over $10,000 in funds from his bank to a bank account he believed was connected to this business. When the delivery date of the victim’s tractor purchase had come and gone with no tractor delivery, the victim was unable to make contact with the business again and reported it to law enforcement. The investigation, thus far, has determined this company went out of business in 1995 and the money transferred was believed to have been diverted to an out-of-country account. Sheriff Brent White encourages Lyon County residents to only deal with known and reputable persons when purchasing items locally and especially online.
“Many times, with this case included, when the actors are in foreign countries, there may be little to anything that can be done to identify or prosecute these offenders,” said Sheriff White. “It is heartbreaking and sometimes life-changing for the victims of these crimes. Most of the time law enforcement is powerless to recoup these exploited funds, much less bring anyone to justice. We believe the federal government should prioritize the fleecing of our American citizens, especially our elderly population, by these fraudulent schemes originating from foreign soils. The financial loss is many times significant, leading to devastating consequences for many of our seniors, and subjecting them to repeated exploitation, as well as living in fear,” continued Sheriff White.

A contractor for the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) plans to close one lane on Westbound I-24 at the 31 MM in the Tennessee River Bridge work zone starting Thursday, Nov. 14.
All traffic will move to the right hand or driving lane to allow crews to remove the remaining barrier wall and place permanent striping. Work is estimated to take about three days, weather permitting.
Then on Monday, Nov. 18, crews will move to Eastbound I-24 to remove the barrier wall and place permanent striping. The eastbound work is also estimated to take about three days to complete.
This is part of the ongoing painting and rehab project on the bridge.
Appropriate caution is required where equipment, flaggers, and construction personnel are along the roadway in close proximity to traffic flow.
Kentucky State Police or local law enforcement will have extra patrols in the area.
Local motorists might consider a self-detour via U.S. 62 and KY 453 to avoid the backup.
KYTC District 1 will attempt to notify the public when the project is completed.
