The Alleghany County Sheriff's Office

In The Spotlight

Hello, my name is Kyle Matthew Moore and I would like to say how thankful I am to call the Alleghany Highlands home. I have lived here for 26 years with my family and we love this community. I have been a member of the Virginia State Police as a Trooper and a Sergeant during that time. I also served in the U.S. Army and retired in 2017 as a Master Sergeant.

The Alleghany County Sheriff’s Office announces the arrest of Raven Hamm following an investigation that began in early 2026.
