He told Judge McKenzie he couldn’t get a driver’s license and insurance on the car because he owed $1,200 in child support.

"That just doesn’t make since to me. You owe $1,200 in child support, so you go buy an $800 car," said Judge McKenzie.

"It sounds like you need to get your priorities straight," he added.

Yolanda Davis of 808 Third St., Marks, had a trial date set for false pretenses after affiant Sharon Primer told Judge McKenzie that Davis had used her driver’s license number to get a cell phone at Unicel.
