Every state has it's own laws around jury duty. Every county within each state has it's own policies regarding excused and postponed jury duty. The best way to deal with this is call them and find out what your options are. You may be able to be excused. You may only get to postpone it. It sounds like you already missed a date. That's why they want you in front of the judge now.
Regarding consequences, judges do have the discretion to administer jail time for failure to appear. However most municipalities would rather just enforce a fine than put someone in already over crowded jails just for failure to appear. Dutch, very likely your neighbor has not told you the whole story. Unless you live in a county where law enforcement has very little to do. Where I live the only time one might get arrested for it is if they get pulled over for a traffic violation.
