Hi Crime Junkies, I'm your host Ashley Flowers.

And I'm Britt.

And the format is a bit different today.

I'm actually just diving right in.

It was earlier this year, 2024, when a crime junkie in her husband, who will call Theresa and

Colton, got this alarming voicemail. It was from their local sheriff's office asking them to call

them back.

And I mean, you heard me when I said they're crime junkies, right?

Like, they don't just hit like the call back button.

They first look up the number of the sheriff's office

to make sure it's legit.

And sure enough, the number that called them match the listed number online

for the local sheriff's office. So Colton called back and left a message of his own

when no one answered and not even a minute later, their phone rang again.

It's the secretary at the sheriff's office

who transferred him to an officer, Officer Smith.

An officer Smith tells him something really alarming.

There's a warrant out for his arrest because he hadn't

shown up for jury duty. I'm sure at that moment made Colton's stomach drop

especially because he hadn't gotten a jury summons.

But when he told that to Officer Smith,

he was told that the police have a jury summons
