Court Clerk warns of jury duty scam

S

The Circuit Court Clerk’s Office has received multiple calls over the past few weeks and increasing calls over the past few days of scammers calling local residents threatening them to pay money over the phone or they will be served with a criminal warrant for not attending jury service. 

According to Coffee County Court Clerk Jenny Anthony, “The courts will never call you demanding money over the phone due to jury service.” 

All jurors that are summoned to court will always receive a jury summons by mail instructed what to expect if called for service.

If a juror is called by the courts it will always come from the Circuit Court Clerk’s Office phone number.
