"My brother got some tickets in my name and I didn’t know," Harrell said.

McKenzie looked through his documents and found a ticket with a tag number on it and asked Detective Paul Shivers to run the tag.

When Shivers came back with the results, he had a picture of of Harrell’s brother, Antonio Harrell.

"You need to tell your brother to get this taken care of and we will have the charges re-issued," McKenzie said.

Possession
Antonio Crump, 120 Williams St., Batesville, failed to appear to answer charges of possession of marijuana in a vehicle and old fines of $355 that have been due since August 2006. Mid South Bonding company was notified.

Eric Montgomery, 214 Tubbs Rd., Batesville, paid a fine of $736 in full prior to court for possession of marijuana and failure to dim lights.

Kenneth Smith, 114 Dora St., Batesville, entered the city’s work release program for 34 days instead of paying fines of $1,367 for possession of marijuana in a vehicle, driving while license suspended, no seat belt and old fines that have been due since March 2006.

Contempt of court
Shona Turner, 981 Wells St., Courtland, entered the city’s work release program for 18 days instead of paying $730 for old fines that dated back to January 2003 and a new charge of driving while license suspended.

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

Keboni Anderson, 107 MLK, Batesville, told the judge she could pay her old fines of $525 in 30 days. The fines were due in March 2006.

"If the fines aren’t paid in full within 30 days you will serve 60 days in jail and still owe the fine," McKenzie said.

Stephen McComb, 206 Tubbs Rd., Batesville, had his contempt of court-old fines of $221 continued.

McComb told the judge he paid the fines in full but didn’t have the receipts on him.

McKenzie told him to come back with receipts and the court clerk will also have time to study her records.

Anesha Benson, 149 Victory Rd., Courland, faced old fines of $570 that have been due since March 2006 and unpaid court-ordered restitution from April 2003.

Benson said she could pay $600 on her fines.

McKenzie let her pay the $600 to cover restitution and she was given 30 days to pay the rest of the fines, $392, or serve six months in jail and still owe the fine.

Judge McKenzie rescheduled a court appearance for Oliver Butler, 202 Hardy Rd., Courtland, who faced a contempt of court charge for old fines of $560 that have been due since December 2004. Butler’s mother appeared on his behalf to tell the judge that he had the flu and would like to reschedule the court date.

Grand jury
Ronald Biggers Jr., 1792 Curtis Locke Station, Batesville, was referred to the grand jury for DUI, running a stop sign, no proof of insurance, no seat belt, driving on the wrong side of the road and grand larceny.

Malcolm Benson, 124 Martinez, Batesville, had a burglary and grand larceny case referred to the grand jury.

Dismissed
Jearmee Davis, Lester St., Batesville, had two counts of simple assault dismissed after the affiants Annie Blackburn and Owens Johnson, failed to appear to prosecute.

Cases set for trial
Eric Cathey, 1164 Lawrence Bros., Batesville, had a loud music ticket dismissed after the judge heard testimony from Officer Jud Moore and the defendant Cathey.

Cathey said his radio doesn’t even work because it was vandalized and the officer must have heard his loud pipes.

McKenzie accepted his explanation.

Joseph Morris, 21374 Hwy. 6 East, Batesville, had a malicious mischief charge dismissed after the judge heard testimonies from the affiant Travis Bell and defendant Morris.

Bell testified that Morris hit and cracked his windshield at Gas Mart after a confrontation.

"My mom just wants him to pay for the damage," Bell said.

The judge explained that malicious mischief is a crime and if Bell wanted the windshield fixed, that he would need to file a civil suit in justice court.

Joseph Morris’ brother testified as a witness and said that the windshield was broken before the incident.

Nicole Wilson testified on Bell’s behalf and said she was in the vehicle and the windshield wasn’t broken the same night the incident happened, but didn’t see Morris hit the windshield.
