Arkansas Attorney General Leslie Rutledge’s office will hold the county’s annual mobile office, a prescription drug take-back and a presentation on common scams in Fairfield Bay located on the Van Buren and Cleburne Counties on Tuesday, June 4.
“In 2015, I began holding mobile offices to reach Arkansans where they live,” said Attorney General Rutledge. “Arkansans deserve to have access to the Attorney General’s Office without having to drive to downtown Little Rock. In addition to the mobile office, my staff provides additional outreach programs and educational opportunities while visiting communities around the State all year.”
During the Attorney General Mobile Office, staff members will assist constituents with consumer-related issues by filing consumer complaints and providing information about scams, identity theft, fraud and other threats from noon to 1:30 p.m. at the Fairfield Bay Senior Center. During that time, authorities from Cleburne County Sheriff Chris Brown’s office will also collect prescription medicines, over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, pet medicines, medicated ointments and lotions, inhalers, liquid medicines in glass or leak-proof containers and medicine samples as part of a prescription drug take-back event.
Community educators will also present a senior scams and identity theft prevention presentation to senior citizens. From noon to 12:30 p.m. at the Fairfield Bay Senior Center, seniors and older adults can learn about common scams that target them, along with ways to spot and prevent identity theft.
