Contempt of court
Jacqueline Smith, 108-C Bradford St., Batesville, faced old fines of $1,565 that have been due since June 2005 and a new fine for driving while license suspended, making the total fines $1,921.

Smith told the judge she didn’t have a job.

The judge asked if there was any reason she couldn’t work on the city work program.

"I can’t work because I have a bad knee and a bad back," Smith said.

McKenzie told her to sit down and figure out what she was going to do.

Later, Smith stood in front of the judge and agreed to enter the city’s work release program instead of paying the old fines.

She was told it would take 47 days to satisfy the old fines.

After court was over, Smith walked back into the courtroom with her hands in the air sobbing and said, "You might as well lock me up. I can’t work 47 days."

"You’re obviously upset and I am sorry, but it is your fault," McKenzie said.

"You come back next week with a plan or have your bags packed."

Nathaniel Faulkner, 114 Gore St., Batesville, entered the city’s work release program for 13 days instead of paying old fines of $500 that have been due since November 2005.
DUI

Serrato Fuentes, 322 Hayes St., Batesville, paid a fine of $857 in full prior to court for DUI and careless driving.

Disorderly conduct

Other
Daniel Watts, 2159 Anthony Rd., Pope, failed to appear for a domestic violence charge. Officer Shenika Hudson testified in his absence. He was found guilty and fined $355.

Nakita Blackmon, 226 Noble St., Batesville, had a simple assault of a minor case continued.

Jeremy Mayer, 1216 Terza Rd., Batesville, had a stalking charge dismissed by affiant Jennifer Mayer.
The case dated back to January 2005 and the affiant moved to Illinois.

Trevor Tutor, 181 Baird Rd., Batesville, entered a guilty plea to simple assault by threat (two counts).

Tutor told the judge he did not threaten affiants Teddie Yates and Courtney McCullar.

"I will pay the fine. This is not worth me missing another day at work," said Tutor.

He was fined $530.

Brooklyn Caine, 212 Broad St., Batesville, was found not guilty of petit larceny.

Caine’s sister Kim Frayser said, "I have no evidence, but she was the only one there."

McKenzie said, "Cases have to be proven beyond a reasonable doubt."

Lee was told to have the fines paid in full or she would serve six months in jail.

Joe Rudd, 241 Martin Luther King Dr., Batesville, had a lower fine imposed for driving while license suspended after showing a valid license.

"I do what I can for folks who try to do something," McKenzie said.

He was fined $128.
