Stafford County Sheriff’s Office last week received several reports of a law enforcement impersonator scam.
The scam involves an individual falsely claiming to be a Stafford Sheriff’s Office deputy. The caller tells the victim that they have missed jury duty and they are in trouble with the law.

Travelers on Interstate 95 northbound should anticipate delays with double lane closures scheduled overnight in Stafford County as construction progresses on the I-95 Northbound Rappahannock River Crossing project.
All three travel lanes on I-95 northbound between exit 133 (Route 17) and exit 136 (Centreport Parkway) will be shifted slightly to the left, toward the median, to provide more space along the right shoulder for crews to work behind concrete barriers.
