    DARLINGTON COUNTY, S.C. (WBTW) — The Darlington County Sheriff’s Office is warning people of a phone scam claiming they have missed jury duty.

    Sheriff James Hudson Jr. said the scheme involves a threat of arrest unless the person pays a fine.

    “You would never be instructed to pay a fee over the phone,” Hudson said.
