*******Scam Alert*******
There is a fraudulent text going around informing people that they have missed jury duty and they have to pay $500.00 or a bench warrant will be issued for their arrest. This is a scam! Neither the Whitfield County Clerk of Superior Court nor the Sheriff will ever send you a text asking for you to pay money to avoid a bench warrant. We will also never ask for your personal information, banking information, etc. NEVER give out personal information or banking information over the phone, internet, Facebook, etc. Please let your friends and family know.
