If you show up at court for failing to respond to a summons to apear for jury duty and appear before the court to explain why you failed to appear, most likely your other outstanding warrants will show up and as a result you will be arrested on the spot and jailed for them.
As such, I suggest that you consult with a criminal defense attorney to assist you in clearing these outstanding warrants and resolving the underlying matters sooner rather than later.
