Scammers in Washington County are impersonating Sheriff’s Office Captain Kevin East, targeting families of detainees with a chilling “Ankle Monitor Scam” — promising freedom for $500 while using stolen photos and fake IDs to look legit. One family even got duped into believing their son would be sent to rehab instead of jail. Authorities have issued warnings: never pay up or hand over money to anyone claiming to fix legal issues — it’s a scam. Stay alert and report suspicious calls immediately.

Arkansas defense looked strong in their season opener, shutting down North Alabama 31-14, but now faces a true test against No. 20 Utah — who just torched Idaho for 66 points. Led by dual-threat QB Devon Dampier, a dynamic athlete with a rocket arm and running back-like speed, Utah’s offense thrives on efficiency and a powerful run game. Coach Roberts knows stopping the run and forcing Utah into longer, tougher third downs is critical. Add Utah’s unpredictable two-quarterback system — sometimes deploying both at once — and Arkansas must tighten up: missed tackles and penalties won’t cut it against this physical, high-powered attack. Saturday’s showdown is a major measuring stick for the Razorbacks’ defense.
