Make sure it’s the real Jeff Underwood

When he played baseball at Walhalla High, Jeff Underwood could slug a baseball.  It’s the same Jeff Underwood who today is a captain with the Oconee Sheriff’s Office.  However, someone is trying to pose as a “Lt. Jeff Underwood” and making calls to county residents.  “Jeff Underwood has been a long time employee of the Oconee County Sheriff’s Office and has held the rank of Captain since 2013,” according to Master Deputy Jimmy Watt, Public Information Officer. “We ask that if any of our citizens are contacted by ‘Lt. Underwood’ to hang up the phone and contact the Oconee County Sheriff’s Office at 864/638-4111 and report it to us.  Do not erase any voicemails you may receive as those messages may be considered evidence in an investigation.  It is a crime to impersonate a law enforcement officer and if caught, the perpetrator(s) will face arrest and prosecution on those charges.”
