Failure to appear
Judge McKenzie issued two warrants for the arrests of two defendants who failed to appear to defend junk ordinance violation charges. Rosie Evans of 103 Tindall Cove, Batesville, and Addie Williams of 105 Goodhaven, Batesville, could owe fines of $355 each if found guilty of the charge.

Kelvin Wadley of 123 CR 105, Oxford, failed to appear on a contempt of court charge for old fines of $480 that have been due since April, 2004.

Shoplifting
Rodney Ladd of 1105-B Hawkins Rd., Courtland, was found guilty of taking a door lock worth $7.95 from Wal-Mart. He is to satisfy the fine of $610 by performing 15 days in the city’s work release program. Participation in the program is an option for defendants who cannot pay their fines.

Disorderly conduct
Marcus Duckworth of 1286 Hwy. 29 North, Ellisville, was found guilty of disorderly conduct. He was terminated from the Job Corps program and will be sent home, according to Jessie Smith, the director of safety and security at BJCC.

The judge sentenced Duckworth to the time he had served awaiting trial.

Simple assault

Akil Irish of St. Thomas, Virgin Islands, also paid a cash fine of $265 prior to court for a simple assault charge.

Carl Young of 109B1 Lester St., Batesville, was found guilty of resisting arrest, disorderly conduct and no proof of insurance. Since he got insurance after the ticket, that fine was reduced.

The judge imposed a total fine of $372.

Stephen Michelleti of 1188 Stephens St., Water Valley, entered a guilty plea to charges of DUI and reckless driving. He was fined $907. He was also given an opportunity to go to driving school to reduce the suspension period for his driver’s license.

Antonio Crump of 120 Williams St., Batesville, is to satisfy fines of $3,800 by working for the city’s release program for 57 days. He entered a guilty plea to disorderly conduct, no driver’s license, reckless driving (two counts), no proof of insurance and failure to yield to an emergency vehicle. He also has six months of jail time suspended.

Cases continued
Sharon Oliver of 244 Martin Luther King, Batesville, was issued a citation by affiant Officer John McCollum for a junk ordinance violation. She was given a chance to remove the car off the premises to avoid a $355 fine.

Pat Bryant of 216 Broad St., Batesville, was also issued a citation for the junk ordinance violation. Bryant explained he was trying to get a motor for the car. The ordinance says that any motor vehicle that is inoperative for longer than seven days must be indoors, in a commercial zone, have a valid tag and inspection sticker.

Judge McKenzie told Bryant to move the car to a commercial zone.

Casey Childs of 105 Woods St., Batesville, was given a week to remove four abandoned vehicles from his property.

He must have them removed by 5 p.m. Wednesday or pay a fine of $355.

Steven Ales of 336 Fondren Rd., Sardis, had an expired tag charge dismissed after providing proof of tag purchase.

Jeremy Wright, Sandy Wright, William Langston and Willie Langston, all of 116 Cole Dr., Batesville, had two counts of simple assault charges dismissed after Judge McKenzie heard testimonies from both sides.
