UPDATE on scam warning on May 12, 2014 - ARRESTS MADE - After the media release, the Lee County Sheriffs Department was contacted on May 17th by authorities at Autry State Prison in Pelham County, GA. The prison had obtained a cell phone from an inmate that contained several Lee County numbers in it. Upon the investigation by the prison, it was determined that Autry State Prison Correctional Officer and an inmate were the participants in this scam. Once the cell phone was obtained and contact was made with our office, we were able to inform them of the scam in this county. It is our understanding that Bergen County Sheriffs Office in New Jersey also has charges on these individuals for the same type of offense. Our office is working with each one of these agencies to insure that the inmate and correctional officer are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. This scam included at least three states and is a nationwide investigation. Thank you to the media for getting this information out to the public to prevent any more victims of this scam. Arrested are: Clarinda Carter - Correction Officer at Autry State Prison, GA Covian Camp - Inmate at Autry State Prision, GA
