Lucius Gerard Maple told the court he had paid his attorney, Terrell Dark, but the lawyer had not filed an entry of appearance or joined the virtual proceeding. The judge said Maple had appeared at least three times without an appearance showing for counsel and gave Maple the option to either secure an attorney who will appear next week, proceed without retained counsel, or request court-appointed counsel. \"If you hired him, he needs to do his job,\" the judge said, adding she would report dereliction to the bar if counsel continued to fail to appear.

Defense counsel later informed the court that Mr. Dark's office texted that he had taken a leave of absence; the judge said a leave is not acceptable at the moment and ordered Maple's arraignment continued to the following week's jail calendar, giving Maple the option to seek appointed counsel if his retained attorney does not appear.

In a separate matter, Terrell Raymond Coleman, charged in a case where the prosecutor is reviewing whether the incident meets the statutory family-violence definition, received a one-week continuance so the defense could provide documentation about the defendant's residence at the time of the incident. The defense asked for the continuance expressly to obtain and deliver that address documentation; the court set the next appearance for March 18, 2025, at 10 a.m.

The judge told defendants who have paid attorneys that, should their retained counsel repeatedly fail to appear after being retained and paid, they may pursue fee arbitration through the State Bar and seek court-appointed counsel. The court placed multiple defendants into breakout rooms with available public defenders or court probation staff to proceed where possible.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Clayton State 304's Personal Meeting Room","oneSentenceSummary","The court continued several arraignments after retained counsel failed to appear or documentation was missing; Judge Tammy Long Hayward warned an attorney she would report dereliction to the State Bar and offered court-appointed counsel as an option to defendants.","taxTitle","Clayton County State Court 304, Texas Courts, Judicial, Texas","taxId",66308,"location","Texas","headline","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":56,"_74":56},6287560,"Clayton County State Court resolves multiple pleas, sentences in jail calendar",294,2903000,3197000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2549921-5c30d6f93178e15bdcd71bbc9b1afd75&start=2903&end=3197","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2549921-5c30d6f93178e15bdcd71bbc9b1afd75/thumbnail_2903000.jpg","/articles/6287560/Texas/Clayton-County-State-Court-resolves-multiple-pleas-sentences-in-jail-calendar","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6287560-b3b76b40822efdb4e80dcadaa552ad58/orig.mp4?Expires=1775464686&Signature=eyotndPnfJdZszYosjyU35uqQOVw3bqpfcVJUbP3FUsEeFfIiSRYOaPH~IWqCDsH1HPNgxUCEa~eCDM2kzYTHN6WJjXDCWxvi6oiS9TMB9nOGNe4Ag6S2sxqz9LasnEPMo9O2OxvFeb9eN~ffXdR-A1RhkCaYdYqvy3IjYxp8WZlcFGDfLq1xLBxYTYQqjivZO7HPwZxlDpDNpzICJ4KquRaougsQcS7RejlEYdMprxbkL~4HaT7E6Va6zsFS2LrZzUJ7Z5TiQq0OW6gO-4ZM1UDxGIpx0wrxPThjaoasHIpPm5z9ATWb9RIWaTCtkNxF2BwYcYOXblmvSlhfio9cQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The State Court of Clayton County processed multiple pleas and sentences during its March 11, 2025 jail calendar, accepting guilty or no-contest pleas in several cases and imposing a mix of custodial time, suspended sentences and fines.

Gonzales Romero Hambrick pleaded guilty to loitering/prowling (case 2025CR01406) and to criminal trespass and providing false information (case 2025CR01544). Judge Tammy Long Hayward accepted the pleas and sentenced Hambrick to 12 months with 35 days to serve on the loitering charge (credit for time served) and 12 months with 90 days to serve on the trespass matter; the two cases were ordered to run concurrent. The court ordered stay-away terms from the incident locations (a Chevron at 6714 Tara Boulevard and a QuickTrip at 93 Upper Riverdale Road) and suspended fines where recommended by the state.

Montrez Torreya (Montrez) Duffy pleaded guilty to pedestrian on the roadway and obstruction of an officer (case 2025CR02064). The court accepted the plea and imposed 12 months with 15 days committed (credited as time served) and suspended the $300 fine on the obstruction count, the judge said.

Roland Joseph Nelson (case 2022CR00171) pleaded no contest to two counts of giving a false name, address or date of birth; the state moved to dismiss the driving-on-a-suspended-license counts. The court accepted the plea and imposed two suspended $100 fines, crediting the defendant with time served where applicable and dismissing the other charges per the parties' agreement.

Dasia Deneen Wilkes (case 2022CR00180) entered a no-contest plea on a stop-or-yield violation; the state moved to dismiss counts for driving on suspended or revoked license and a seat-belt violation. The court accepted the no-contest plea on count 3 and suspended the $100 fine; Wilkes was released with no payment due unless she violates the law within 12 months.

Alicia Dearman (cases 2023CR01220 and 2023CR01222) pleaded guilty to theft by shoplifting in two matters involving Walmart losses of $386.97 and $102.08 respectively. The court sentenced Dearman to concurrent 12-month terms with 90 days to serve and the balance suspended, credited time in custody, and ordered her to stay away from Walmart stores in Clayton County.

Several cases were continued or were the subject of other procedural motions: Anthony Lamar Brooks's motion to set bond remained pending and will be addressed after other matters; Lucius Gerard Maple's arraignment was continued because his retained attorney had not entered an appearance; and Terrrell (Terrell) Raymond Coleman's case was continued one week so the defense can produce documentation regarding the defendant's residence at the time of the incident.

Court staff confirmed that driver's licenses for Roland Nelson and Dasia Wilkes were verified and that bench-warrant recall paperwork would be prepared where appropriate. The court routinely advised defendants about the consequences of pleas, including immigration effects for noncitizens and the rights waived by entering guilty or no-contest pleas.","Judge Tammy Long Hayward accepted pleas and imposed sentences — including jail time (partially suspended), fines, and stay-away orders — in several cases during the March 11, 2025 jail calendar; some defendants received credit for time served, and other matters were continued.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":56,"_74":56},6287566,"Jared Major pleads guilty to DUI; judge offers conditional nonreporting to protect his job",653,2148000,2801000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2549921-5c30d6f93178e15bdcd71bbc9b1afd75&start=2148&end=2801","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2549921-5c30d6f93178e15bdcd71bbc9b1afd75/thumbnail_2148000.jpg","/articles/6287566/Texas/Jared-Major-pleads-guilty-to-DUI-judge-offers-conditional-nonreporting-to-protect-his-job","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6287566-716f82db002c7083b1f3ade41b6fc989/orig.mp4?Expires=1775464686&Signature=dZsPQMwHURmUgCqI-GVPliu0Bp9rxC7YrWgSbkEhMAog8JpvZw-9HTuox2zQ-eVhSJ9HaqkfII8XOE9Cn-PJlD7ExJypvo9wjHaAQWIUHywFKdQ82t9noV~B~8nJ8rhrY7E9n0-d-GHdTJYDsRhyiKyjQ~xqbtlvSnjIbRRT-Ieno9IKMipkA1whpz0c7exNoS90y8bqCAl0AugL-OvecHXxASamX4-PQdEHIpSKh2CBbHFHc82w8x2ReXh6JuTZ07d8hLM1n4Xd7Qcy1C~1bkF1HoouICBfD3s82V8qhSdYFtj1xR9jwyAfngAisiF~n9qfEXxzwEMQsGUq6xxYDg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Jared Alexander Major pleaded guilty to driving under the influence (less safe) and entered no-contest pleas to related charges in State Court of Clayton County on March 11, 2025. Judge Tammy Long Hayward accepted the plea and imposed a sentence that included jail time with most of the term probated and several special conditions.

The judge said Major, charged in case 2021CR06860, would receive \"12 months to serve, 24 hours credit for time served, balance probated,\" along with a $300 fine, 40 hours of community service, enrollment and completion of a risk-reduction course, a substance-abuse evaluation and any recommended treatment, a prohibition on drugs and alcohol during probation, and random testing. The court also imposed a $500 fine on the property-related count and a $100 suspended fine on the improper-lane-change count; the counts were to run concurrent with the DUI sentence.

Defense attorney Khalil Eady told the court Major had already completed many of the special conditions, saying, \"at this point, he has done 80 hours of community service, double risk reduction, double testings, and everything of that nature.\" Eady said Major has started work as a flight attendant for Delta and travels frequently, which counsel said would be disrupted by regular reporting requirements.

Deputy prosecutor Wanda (first name not specified on the record) said the state was reluctant to make Major nonreporting immediately because the defendant's blood-alcohol concentration in the case was 0.192 and there was a victim. The prosecutor suggested a period of monitoring; the judge adopted a middle course.

Judge Hayward said she does not ordinarily place defendants on nonreporting supervision, but agreed to do so in Major's case if he could verify completion of the special conditions and payment of fines and fees. \"If we can verify that Mr. Major has done all of the conditions ... and can pay the fines and fees, then the court will go nonreporting,\" she said, adding he would remain subject to periodic drug or alcohol screens.

The prosecutor described the case facts in court: officers responding to a hit-and-run on Forest Park near State Route 85 observed signs of intoxication, the defendant admitted drinking an eight-pack of Bud Light about four hours before the accident, and a blood test returned a BAC of 0.192. The state recommended 12 months to serve with significant conditions; the judge imposed largely the same sentence but allowed the conditional nonreporting arrangement.

Major was placed in a breakout room with the probation specialist to begin probation intake and to complete required paperwork; the court told him to provide proof of completed programs and payment of fines to effectuate the nonreporting status.

The court record shows the plea and sentence were entered in open court and the probation and reporting conditions were made part of the judgment.","In State Court of Clayton County, Jared Alexander Major pleaded guilty to driving under the influence (less safe) and accepted a plea package that included a 12-month sentence with most time probated; the judge said Major could be placed on nonreporting probation if he provides proof he completed required programs and paid fines.","actionData","errors"]
