Tell Us How You Really Feel About Jury Duty

An Arizona man who bluntly expressed his displeasure about being called to jury duty has landed himself in legal hot water.

Timothy Michael Jones was ordered to appear in court to explain why he sent back a jury questionnaire with obscenities written in black marker.

Needless to say he failed to show up. Yuma County Superior Court Judge Andrew Gould was so unimpressed he issued a bench warrant. Jones now faces a charge of indirect criminal contempt, which carries possible penalties of six months in jail and a fine of up to $300.

Court records show Jones was sent a jury summons the previous month telling him he had been randomly selected as a prospective juror, along with the questionnaire.
