SCAM ALERT!! If you receive a phone call telling you that the caller is affiliated with this court and that you must appear for a hearing at the court or face the issuance of an arrest warrant unless you pay some money to the court, please hang up. This is a scam. Neither the Court nor the Clerk’s office would ever call anyone demanding money in that way, and we do not call anyone about arrest warrants.
