Middle TN authorities warn about traffic ticket scam texts
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — Multiple Middle Tennessee law enforcement agencies have issued alerts about scam texts involving payments for traffic tickets. The Marshall County Sheriff's Office, the Clarksville Police Department, Shelbyville Police Department, and the Crossville Police Department have all posted pictures of the scam messages, all of which start the same way: Tennessee Department of Vehicles (DMV) Final Notice: Enforcement Penalties Begin on June 8. Our records show that as of today, you still have an outstanding traffic ticket. In accordance with North Tennessee State Administrative Code 15C-16.003, if you do not complete payment by June 7, 2025, we will take the following actions: Report to the DMV violation database Suspend your vehicle registration starting June 8 Suspend driving privileges for 30 days Transfer to a toll booth and charge a 35% service fee You may be prosecuted and your credit score will be affected Man facing charges after 2024 high-speed crash through Lebanon Square Officials pointed out several flaws in the first half of the message, including the fact that 'Tennessee Department of Vehicles' is the incorrect title for the Tennessee DMV, as well as the nonexistent 'North Tennessee State Administrative Code.' After that, the text includes a link — which differs among the various screenshots posted by authorities, but all of the links are fake — and instructs the recipient to pay immediately in order to avoid license suspension and further legal disputes. You can tell the message is a scam because it usually comes from a random email address rather than an official government domain. In addition, law enforcement said they'll never contact you via text about outstanding tickets, warrants, or any official matter. Man caught with meth while dumpster diving for 'raccoon friend' in Nashville alleyway, police say If you receive a text like this, officials urge you to delete it without replying, clicking the links, or providing any personal or financial information. If you've already interacted with the message, you should monitor your accounts for unusual activity and consider reporting the incident to local law enforcement or the Federal Trade Commission.

Deputies investigate man beaten, stripped over racial slur at MS club
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Deputies are investigating an incident involving a man who was beaten, stripped, and robbed for allegedly yelling racial slurs inside a Holly Springs club on Sunday. Lt. Colonel Kelly McMillen with the Marshall County Sheriff's Office says the investigation into the reported beating of a White man at a popular African American club in Holly Springs called C.J.'s Lounge is ongoing. 'At this point, that's a critical part of this investigation because we have heard the same thing. However, we want to make sure that is exactly what happened, and if it is, that will be reacted on as well,' said Lt. Colonel McMillen. Former Monroe County district judge sentenced to federal prison for obstruction 'I was hearing him yell out and blare out the N word repeatedly,' said Myles Stone, part-time DJ and security at C.J.'s Lounge. 'Everyone on planet earth has to live with their choices, and he walked in there with a choice to be very hateful, very negative.' Investigators say they believe the incident started inside C.J.'s Lounge and spilled out into this courtyard. This is where investigators say the victim was beaten, robbed, and stripped of his clothing while a number of people recorded and laughed. 'The victim, unfortunately, his jaw's busted open, his eye's busted. He's just in a terrible state of mind right now,' said Lt. Colonel McMillen. 'We're trying to adopt some search warrants, get those done, and see if we can retrieve information from those social media accounts.' Clayborn Temple fire ruled arson; person sought C.J.'s Lounge has been closed by the city because of the incident and the number of previous complaints. WREG has reached out to the owner of the club for a comment but has not received a response. We're told the victim has been released from the hospital in New Albany and is being interviewed by investigators again. If you have information, you can contact the Holly Springs Police at 919-557-9111 or the Marshall County Sheriff's Office at 931-359-6122. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
