Circuit Court

PLEASE BE AWARE THAT A JURY DUTY SCAM IS CURRENTLY HAPPENING. Someone posing as a deputy sheriff, and in one case, using a legitimate deputy sheriff's name and badge number, is calling individuals and saying that they did not show up for jury duty and need to come to the Sheriff's Office or Magistrate's Office. The caller further demands at $2,500 cash bond, threatening detention and arrest. No individual from the Court, Police Department, or Sheriff's Office will call and demand that you bring them money for not showing up for jury duty. The scam appears to be legitimate as the individual on the phone gives actual names and addresses that are real. Please know that this kind of demand to show up with money would never happen.
