Scammers never stop.
Sumter PD wants you to be aware of a new round of scam calls using the names of actual current or former local law enforcement officers to intimidate their victims into paying for a "warrant or subpoena."
They may even go as far as referring you to a department website to verify the officer's existence.
Please be aware that no one in law enforcement will ever call and solicit payment related to a legal matter.
If you receive a call like this, hang up.
Please share this information with family, friends and associates so they can protect themselves from this common scam.

Arrests made in hotel shooting that left 2 men dead
SUMTER, SC (Sept. 13, 2024) – Two Wedgefield men are in custody and face charges for their roles in an August shooting that left two men dead at a Broad Street hotel.
The investigation remains ongoing as police continue efforts to identify those involved and determine what led to the fatal shooting of Saquan Logan, 20, of Sumter, and Tyriq Demari Spann, 19, of Dalzell.
Both were found dead Aug. 18 as officers responded to a 4:30 a.m. shooting call at the Sleep Inn on Broad Street.
Based on information gathered, the Sumter Police Department charged Tavion Melki Mickens, 19, with possession of a weapon during a violent crime and two counts of murder.
Mickens was identified and later located in a Georgia jail where he was stopped for speeding and also charged with possession of a weapon. He was extradited to Sumter and booked Sept. 7 at the county detention center.
Prior to Mickens’ arrest, officers also were able to identify Toney Williams Jr., 23, for his involvement. Williams was identified as helping Mickens cover up evidence and elude police.
He is charged with accessory after the fact of murder and was booked Aug. 27 at the county detention center.
An up to $5,000 reward remains available for information leading to additional arrests. Anyone with information is asked to call the Sumter Police Department at 803-436-2700.
Tips also can be given to Crime Stoppers by calling 1-888-CRIME-SC, going online at P3tips.com or using the P3tips app that’s available for Apple and Android devices.

Toward the key away.
Now, keep them in jail. Do not let them out on bail or house arrest.
Two young men dead. Two young men who’s lives will never be the same. Countless family members suffering unimaginable pain. Just sad all the way around.
In the End nobody Wins💯. Was it worth it? Is the only question you can ask urself 🤦🏾
Saquan Logan was my son’s coworker and friend. I watched him leave work everyday when I picked up my son from work. BJ shared a selfie of them together right before his death. I’m so glad justice will be served! Continued prayers for their families!
A split second decision can and will change the rest of your life and others. #BetterThinkFirst

Sumter has become a mecca for black-on-black crime. Look at the Sumter police pages and how many murders, robberies, etc involve blacks. I know there will be backlash, excuses about systemic racism, etc but the stats and facts don't lie. Just stop breaking the freakin' law.
SMMFH.... And wonder why they call us Animals.....
