A mysterious Bluffton place: Floating pool in the Buckeye

Posted by Staff on August 7, 2022 - 6:54am

The world’s oceans hold many secrets. Sea monsters, sunken treasure and ghost ships fill our imagination with what’s below the surface of the mighty deep.

The Buckeye takes but does not give back

Allen County Sheriff's Office warns of phone scam

Posted by Staff on August 6, 2022 - 7:01am

We have received multiple complaints of Allen County residents receiving phone calls from an individual claiming to be from our office. The caller claims to have a warrant for the person who answers the phone, and then asks for private information and money for fines.

This is a scam! This person is not an employee of the Allen County Sheriff’s Office, and this IS NOT the way that the Allen County Sheriff’s Office handles warrants. If you receive one of these calls please do not give out your personal information and please do not give out your money.
