A Greenville man was bound over to the grand jury during Batesville Municipal Court Wednesday for allegedly stealing two beagles worth $1,600 from affiant William Arendale.

His bond reduction was granted from $1,500 to $750.

Contempt of court
Layanda Lee, 207 Vance St., Batesville, entered a guilty plea to shoplifting at Vanity Fair Outlet. She also had old fines of $1,198 that have been due since September 2004.

Lee previously failed to complete the assigned number of days on the city’s work release program.

The city’s work release program is an option for defendants who cannot pay their fines.

"I was pregnant at the time and I just had my baby December 30," said Lee.

"Time and time again, the court has attempted to help you," said Judge Westfaul.

Maurice Milton, 5127 Nash Rd., Batesville, paid prior to court a cash fine in full for old fines of $526 that have been due since October 2005.

Jerry Priest, 302-B Lester St., Batesville, was sentenced 30 days in jail for old fines of $500 that have been due since June 2005.

Judge Westfaul told the defendant he could get out of jail if he paid the fine.

Timothy Hamilton, 84-F Azzie Lee, Courtland, had old fines $2,288 that have been due since June 2005.

He explained that he had a medical condition and was on dialysis.

The judge said, "I think you are doing the best you can."

He was ordered to work two days a week on the city’s work release program for 30 days.

"You have other problems, you need to get this cleared up," Judge Westfaul added.

Charlotte Neyland, 214 Ninth St., Lambert, paid prior to court her fine old fines of $526 that have been due since October 2005.

Earnest Rudd, 6070 Nash Rd., Batesville, was sentenced 45 days in jail for contempt of court – old fines of $1,181 that have been due since July 2003.

Toussaint Smith, 513 South Clay St., Charleston, had contempt of court – old fines of $747. He was given credit for the six days he served in jail and his fine was reduced to $622.

The Charleston Police Department had a hold on him also, so he was transferred back to Charleston.

Paul Lang, 2025 Looxahoma-Tyro, Senatobia, was given credit for time served for contempt of court – old fines of $315 that have been due since July 2004.

DUI
Mark Carmichael, 6947 Hillindale, Bartlett, Tenn., returned with attorney Tom Womble representing him for DUI (second), open container, no driver’s license, no proof of insurance, careless driving and resisting arrest.

An agreement was made between attorney Tom Womble and the city’s prosecuting attorney Parker Still to reduce the DUI (second) to DUI (first) and the open container, no driver’s license, no proof of insurance and resisting arrest charges were dismissed at the officer’s request.

Carmichael entered a guilty plea to careless driving and owes a $857 fine.

Gordon Dulin, 64 Hill St., Sardis, was found guilty of DUI (second) and sentenced to 10 days in jail. He also owes a fine of $1,224.

Tammy Alred, 19697-B Hwy. 51 South, Batesville, entered a not guilty plea to DUI (second) other substance. A trial date was set.

Bradley Toliver, 1796 Jamison Rd., Marks, had a trial date set with an attorney for DUI.

Other
Quentin Graves, 821 Hwy. 51 South, Batesville, entered a guilty plea to possession of marijuana less than an ounce. He was fined $355.

Jessica Turnage and Jimmy Berryhill, of 175 Toliver Rd., Batesville, were both issued a warrant for their arrest for failure to appear for petit larceny charges.

They both appeared in court 30 minutes late and told the judge, "The lady at the jail told us to be here at 9 a.m."

"I won’t hold you in contempt of court," said Judge Westfaul.

They were told that court begins at 8:30 a.m. after they both entered a not guilty plea to petit larceny. A trial date was set.

Jason Bobo, 150 Martin Luther King #5-C, Batesville, entered a not guilty plea to joy riding. He also had old fines of $1,740 that have been due since June 2003.

Bobo told the judge that he had been in prison and didn’t have a way to pay the fines.

"I do find it a reasonable excuse because you were incarcerated," said Judge Westfaul.

Bobo was given 90 days to pay the old fines and a trial date was set for the joy riding charge.

Jimmy Liddell, 1526 13th Ave., Meridian, failed to appear for a false pretense in an alleged "quick-change" scheme. Testimony was heard from the witnesses at Wal-Mart, and he was found guilty.

Denise Harris, 256 Greg Taylor Rd., entered a guilty plea to false information, careless driving, no driver’s license and no proof of insurance. She showed valid proof of insurance after she received the ticket.

Her total fine was lowered to $1,200.

Tickets
Sammy K. Phillips, 956 Lawrence Brothers, Batesville, had a no proof of insurance and no driver’s license case continued. He was given time to get insurance and save $400.

Melonie Johnson, 15 Hughes Rd., Sledge, was fined $464 for no proof of insurance and no driver’s license. The lower fine was imposed after she proved she had valid proof of insurance after the ticket was issued.
