The Garrett County Sheriff’s Office has clarified a recent point: “The Sheriff’s Office had recently placed a notice for residents to be cautious of individuals posing as Potomac Edison employees who may be trying to gain entry into their homes. Although this was a true statement, one local company should not be confused with those individuals who had a criminal intent. HOT SHOTZ Home Performance is a local reputable home energy service provider … should you receive literature from them, please understand that they have your best interests in mind. I am sorry for any confusion that this may have caused. – Sheriff Rob Corley”
