HENDRICKS COUNTY, Ind. — The Hendricks County Sheriff's Office is warning people of scam accounts and fake livestreams ahead of Deputy Fred Fislar's funeral.
Fislar died in the line of duty Tuesday, April 16 after he came into contact with a low-hanging power line while responding to the scene of a crash just before midnight in the 2600 block of South State Road 267, just north of Plainfield.
His public visitation and funeral services are being held Sunday, April 21, but there will not be a livestream, per the family's request.
The HCSO is reminding everyone that there will be no livestream after multiple accounts on Facebook have been created, titled, "Deputy Fred Fislar Funeral Service Line" or "Deputy Fred Fislar Funeral Service Live Stream."
HCSO says "do NOT click on any links, 'add friend' buttons or provide any personal information or payment methods to these accounts," as they are a scam.
