You better Not Miss Jury Duty in Texas


Blowing off jury duty cost a Texas man 83 days behind bars.

A Collin County judge released Douglas Maupin, 34, over the weekend and called his lengthy confinement "unacceptable."

Maupin was arrested on Feb. 15 after cops pulled him over for speeding and flagged his 2003 warrant for failure to appear for jury duty.
