Lynn Owens was a clerk with the Bucks County Jury Selection Commission office. After a homeowner refused to pay her boyfriend $157 of a $675 bill for work he’d done on the woman’s home, she typed out a letter threatening legal action on her county work computer, and printed it on the commission letterhead, then sent it by certified mail.
