Baglan denied bond for Quinterrius Reeves of 1053 Hawkins Rd., Courtland, who was charged with armed robbery.
According to court records, Reeves was out on felony bond for grand larceny and burglary of a dwelling before he was arrested again for the armed robbery charges.
“I don’t feel comfortable coming behind Judge Westfaul, who denied bond, and setting a bond. Since he is already out on felony bond, he shouldn’t have one,” said Baglan.
Jalan Clyde Atkinson of 1203 Harrison St., Tupelo, was charged with four counts of controlled substance fraud in acquisition.
“Due to charges and outstanding charges in other counties I will not set a bond,” said the judge. Attorney Jeff Padget was appointed to represent Atkinson.
Charlene Hewlette of 204-C Lester St., Batesville, was found guilty of public drunkeness after the court heard testimony from both sides.
According to the testimony of arresting officer Ruby Myers, Batesville Officers were searching for Hewlette’s son and arrived at her residence to see if he could be located at the home.
After being invited into Hewlette’s home, Officer Myers observed whiskey bottles within the home and advised Hewlette to contact her if her son showed up.
Later that night, Officer Myers was patrolling the area near Hewlette’s residence and saw Hewlette walking down the street.
“I gave several commands asking her to stop but she refused. I could smell an odor of an intoxicating beverage, she was slurring her speech and staggering. So I arrested her and charged her with public drunk,” said Officer Myers.
According to Hewlette, she was not drinking and was walking to her daughter’s to tell her not to let her brother in because the landlord has threatened to evict them if he is found on the property.
Hewlette was found guilty and has 30 days to pay the $225 fine.
