Clearfield County President Judge Fred Ammerman is cracking down on absentee jurors.

Ammerman fined two Clearfield women and a man from Woodland a total of $250 each for not showing up for jury duty on Dec. 3.

Transcripts show their excuses included caregiver duties, not having a car, and forgetting.

The judge’s office says two more jurors slated for the Jan. 15 juror contempt hearing had other circumstances as found by the court.
