Scammer Impersonating Rhea County Lieutenant

By Ronni Chase Jan 3, 2026 | 5:43 PM

The Rhea County Sheriff’s Office is warning of a scammer impersonating Lieutenant Keith Myers and claiming to be collecting a fine on behalf of the Chief Deputy.  The person also threatens jail time if you do not comply.  This is a scam.  The Rhea County Sheriff’s Office does not have a Lieutenant Keith Myers and would never contact you about unpaid fines in this manner.  Do not provide any personal information and hang up if you receive such a call.
