Scammers are calling people saying they have missed jury duty

The Wood County Sheriff’s Office is getting reports from citizens who have received phone calls from a person who identifies himself as Capt. Terry James of the Wood County Sheriff’s Office.

The caller is telling is telling the recipients that they have missed jury duty and there is a warrant out for their arrest. These subjects are also reportedly using the names of other Wood County deputies.

Citizens should be aware this is a scam, and the sheriff’s office does not call people when they miss jury duty.
