GRAHAM, N.C. — Alamance County sheriff's deputies said two men posed as South Carolina law enforcement officers and threatened to arrest a man if he did not wire a large sum of money to an unknown account. 

Deputies said one of the suspects, identified as Christopher Jason Calhoun, 45, of South Carolina, drove the victim to First Horizon Bank in Graham on Wednesday afternoon to try to get the money. Bank workers called the sheriff's office about possible fraud before the victim withdrew any cash.
