(b) If another statute does not specify a method of summoning jurors, the court shall comply with sections 13 to 21 of this chapter 1 and shall direct the chief of police or a police officer of the city to make a list in writing of the names of 18 inhabitants of the city, qualified to serve as jurors in the circuit court. From this list the prosecuting attorney and the accused may each strike out 6 names. A police officer shall not make the list if the police officer is the complainant in the case or is in any way interested in the case.
