May 30, 2019 - The West Shelby Volunteer Fire Department responded to a hay roll on fire in a hay meadow Tuesday, May 28, 2019 at 6:26pm on County Road 1171 with a tanker truck and two grass trucks.
A faulty bearing on the baler was the cause of the fire. Dustin Hughes contained the fire until the fire department arrived and then he used the forks on the tractor to unroll the hay while the fire department saturated the hay with water. Frankie Anthony, a neighbor near the property, finished rolling the remaining hay with his baler.
The fire department finished and was back in service at 7:20pm.


May 29, 2019 - The Shelby County Sheriff’s Office is warning area residents of a scam that is circulating in our area. This scam is referred to as the “Grandparent Scam.”
The caller claims to be a relative (usually a granddaughter or grandson) and claims that they are in jail. The caller request that they contact a person at a certain number or tells them that a bondsman will be contacting them in a few minutes and ask for help in getting out of jail. The victim will then either receive a phone call or told to call a number given to them and speak to a person claiming to be a bondsman. This “bondsman” is a fake and will usually ask for a credit card number, or a pre-paid credit card such as a Green-DOT card, etc.,
Do Not Give The Caller Any Information. This is a scam. Find out what jail the family member is supposedly being held and call to verify whether they are there or not. Always meet a bondsman at their office or at the jail where you are bonding the person out.
