A Sardis woman asked Judge Jay Westfaul what she should do about an affiant who presses charges on several people but never comes to court.

Chesley Daugherty, 18713 Hwy. 51 South, Sardis, was found not guilty of domestic violence-simple assault during Batesville Municipal Court Wednesday after affiant Zachery Pitcock failed to appear to prosecute.

The city’s court clerk told the judge the numbers she had for the affiant were not in service and she could not reach him.

“He has pressed charges on others and does not show up. How do we get this to stop?” asked Daugherty.

The judge told the defendant he could not give her legal advice but she could ask a lawyer.
