The Cass County Sheriff’s Office reports 53-year old Randall Joe Conry, of Atlantic, was arrested this (Friday) morning on two felony charges, including OWI 3rd or Subsequent Office, and Eluding. He was also charged with Driving While Revoked, Interference with Official Acts, and Driving Under Suspension. Conry was taken to the Cass County Jail where he remains held on $11,600 bond.

The Cass County Sheriff’s Office would also like to remind people of the many telephone scams that come and go. Sometimes it’s a “Publisher’s Clearinghouse” scam, or something in that vein. One recently reported to the Sheriff’s Office, is the good old “Grandma/Grandpa, I Need Some Money” scam. The  person who reported it was successful in getting the scammers to hang up by asking some good questions, like, “What’s my (first) name?” and “What’s your last name?” The only name the knew was the grandchild’s first name, and they hung up upon questioning. If you get a scam like this, it’s okay to ask questions and be skeptical – it can save you from being scammed! If there’s a call asking you for money for a deal that’s too good to be true, or for a family member, usually a grandchild, question it or simply hang up and contact another family member to verify the information. You can also feel free to call the Cass County Sheriff’s Office.
