Two separate Stallion Springs residents reported that they were victims of credit card fraud. During each investigation, an SSPD officer discovered that unknown subjects had utilized their credit card information to make fraudulent purchases out of state.

The SSPD received additional reports of an "IRS phone scam" in which the victim is telephoned by a false IRS agent claiming the victim owes the IRS back taxes or that they are "fraudulent". If the victim refuses to pay, the false agent states that a warrant will be served on the victim's home and they will be arrested. The scams intent is to attain credit card information from the victim.

SSPD officers have begun issuing warning citations for subjects fishing at Horsethief Lake without SSCSD fishing permits.
