Lincoln County Sheriff Murray Blackwelder released a list Friday of more than 200 individuals who have outstanding worthless checks here.
"The money is owed to the merchants of Lincoln County, and it is the Sheriff’s Department’s job to serve this process," said Blackwelder. "Any help anyone can give us in locating these individuals would be greatly appreciated."
The sheriff published notices in The Times earlier this month, urging those with bad checks out to make good on them or risk having their name published in the newspaper. And while many have made good on their bad checks, more than 200 haven’t, and this week, the sheriff released the list to The Times.
"By the time it reaches this point, the merchant has sent out a notice – usually they’ve made several attempts to collect it – and the bank has sent out a notice," said Blackwelder. "So these individuals have been notified … In rare cases, there are situations where checks have been forged, but if you keep up with your checking account, you know something is going on.
"This is not an attempt to embarrass people," he added. "It’s an attempt to help us in this process that we’re bound by law to do."
If you have information regarding the whereabouts of those listed, please contact the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Department at (931) 433-9821.
