Hamilton County Circuit Court Clerk Larry Henry tells Chattanoogan.com that a scam aimed at jurors is continuing to "harass and intimidate the residents of Hamilton County.” Henry reports that those responsible for the scam are demanding monetary payment in lieu of incarceration for those who have allegedly failed to appear for jury service. The perpetrators also provide online payment websites and have requested in-person payment at designated locations. Henry reiterates that this is not the procedure the court uses for those who fail to appear for jury service. He encourages anyone that receives such a call to contact the jury office at 423-209-6726.
