Scam Alert
Logan County jury misinformation and attempt to defraud the public

[November 04, 2025]  The Logan County Circuit Court and Sheriff’s Office have been made aware of several attempts to contact Logan County citizens via phone calls and text messages claiming the person had missed jury duty. The scammers then attempt to use threats of intimidation and the threat of a warrant being issued to compel persons to release personal information and credit card information, including using Judge Jon Wright’s and Sheriff Mark Landers’ names to legitimize the call.

DO NOT RELEASE SUCH INFORMATION.

The Logan County Jury Commission, Logan County Circuit Court or Logan County Sheriff’s Office will not contact you to obtain personal information, threaten to arrest you for failing to appear for jury duty, or request personal information from you in regard to jury duty via phone.
