Circuit Court Officials have been
notified that area citizens are receiving calls from a person or
persons identifying themselves as sheriff’s department personnel.
The caller claims that a warrant exists for the arrest of the citizen
due to the citizen’s failure to appear for Jury Duty. The caller
then instructs the citizen to purchase a money card and call them
back with that information on that card to pay for their bond. Be
advised that no such warrants have been issued by any Court in the
27th Circuit.
Please contact law enforcement officers
if you have received any telephone requests to send money in any form
for alleged bonds. Any questions regarding jury duty should be
directed to the circuit clerk’s office.
James K. Journey, Presiding Judge of
the 27th Circuit Court
