Richmond County Sheriff’s Office warns of circulating social media post

AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) - The Richmond County Sheriff’s Office says they’ve been made aware of a social media post and text message that has been circulating.

They say the message is referring to the Richland County Sheriff’s Department in South Carolina, and not the Richmond County Sheriff’s Office. They say there are no credible threats regarding Richmond County and Augusta.
