The Barry County Sheriff’s Office reports that they received information from a local business today regarding an individual who had contacted the business to solicit a monetary donation for advertising to support the summer concert series. The man identified himself as a representative of the Barry County Sheriff’s Office.

"Please be mindful that the sheriff’s office will never solicit anyone for donations in this fashion.  If you receive a call of this nature, they are not associated with this office," Undersheriff Matt Houchlei said.
