The calendar produced several immediate sentences and probation conditions, including multiple concurrent 12-month terms to serve, community-service orders, fines with statutory surcharges, and special conditions such as no-contact orders and substance-abuse evaluations.

Why this matters: The consolidated dispositions clear backlog on the court’s jail calendar and impose both custodial and supervisory penalties intended to address public-safety and recidivism risks cited by the court and prosecutors.

Votes at a glance (pleas/sentences accepted)

- Michael Alexander Green (2021CR07883): Pleaded guilty to counts 2 (improper lane change), 3 (wrong side of the road), and 6 (reckless driving). Court accepted negotiated disposition that includes 120 hours community service, a $1,000 fine, DUI risk-reduction course, random testing, and other special conditions; counts 2 and 3 carry $100 fines (each increased by surcharges). (State factual basis read by prosecution; court admonitions delivered by Judge Hayward.)

- Jeremiah Isaiah Lott (2022CR00235): Pleaded guilty to theft by shoplifting. Sentence: 12 months probation, $200 fine (about $298 with surcharges), 40 hours community service, completion of a theft-prevention course, and a no-return condition to the Walmart at 2940 Anvil Bluff Road (Ellenwood). Probation may terminate on completion of conditions.

- Raquan Lamar Monte Dixon (multiple cases: 2024CR02178; 2025CR00537; 2025CR00546): Pleaded guilty across three matters (simple battery-family-violence; criminal trespass; battery-family-violence). Judge Hayward sentenced Dixon to 12 months to serve on each case, to run concurrent; counts that were redundant were merged. Judge explicitly ordered no contact with the victim and warned that any post-conviction contact would prompt a letter to the superior-court judge overseeing his five-year felony probation. The court stated it would give credit for time served since lockup per sheriff’s calculation.

- Antoine Deon Garland (2025CR03038): Pleaded guilty to criminal trespass at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport on March 6, 2025. Judge Hayward sentenced Garland to 12 months to serve with 30 days to serve and the balance suspended (credit for time served), ordered him to stay away from the airport unless on official business and advised he request chaplain/jail reentry services while incarcerated.

- Cameron Laray Richardson (2025CR03054): Entered a no-contest plea to obstruction of an officer. The court accepted a negotiated fine of $300, suspended.

- Kenneth Pac/Pack (2025CR03043): Pleaded guilty to criminal trespass at the airport. Court sentenced him to 12 months to serve with 180 days to serve (balance suspended) and ordered a no-return condition to the airport unless official business.

- Samantha Denise Orange (2022CR00525): Pleaded guilty to DUI; count 2 merged, and no-contest entered to improper lane change (count 3). Sentence on DUI: 12 months with 24 hours credited for time served, balance probated; $300 fine (enhanced by surcharges), 40 hours community service, substance-abuse evaluation and recommended treatment, DUI risk-reduction course, random testing and no drugs/alcohol while on probation. The court warned that failure to report to probation will prompt an arrest warrant.

- Brianna Marie Riley: Case continued for probation verification and enrollment in GED program; the court continued probation and encouraged completion of GED coursework and proof of progress to probation staff.

- Kiana Miles: After consulting with appointed counsel, Miles entered a not-guilty plea; the court confirmed bond conditions and warned that violating no-contact terms can result in additional charges, including aggravated stalking.

What the court said: Judge Hayward repeatedly stressed that failing to comply with probation and bond conditions would lead to warrants, revocations, and, in some defendants’ cases, letters to other judges overseeing existing probation. On defendants with airport-related trespass histories, she emphasized the airport’s enforcement posture and directed incarcerated defendants to seek chaplain or reentry services.

Additional case notes and special conditions

- Several defendants received credit for time served; the court left calculation of exact credits to the sheriff’s office.
- Repeated no-contact orders were highlighted as central conditions in family-violence cases; the judge warned that even a single prison phone call to a protected person would prompt further sanctions.

The charges addressed during the jail calendar proceedings included simple battery-family-violence, criminal trespass, and battery-family-violence. The state presented factual bases that described repeated incidents at 1018 Gardenwood Drive in Clayton County in 2023 and 2024, including one allegation that the defendant \"did pick up the victim, Ms. Jones, and [was] throwing her aggressively,\" the prosecutor told the court.

Judge Hayward accepted the pleas and imposed 12-month terms to serve on each case to run concurrently. She merged redundant counts where appropriate and instructed the sheriff’s office to calculate credit for time Dixon has already served in custody. The court also required a no-contact order with the identified victim and warned that any post-conviction contact would prompt immediate further action.

Why this matters: The court emphasized both the pattern of repeated domestic incidents and the risk to the victim, framing compliance with no-contact and probation requirements as central to community safety and Dixon’s future legal exposure.

Judge's admonition and enforcement posture

Judge Hayward addressed Dixon directly, referencing the multiple filings involving the same person and the danger of continuing contact. She said, \"You are about to spend 12 months in jail because you don't know how to listen. You're about to spend 12 months in jail because you're obsessed with somebody and you don't know how to communicate.\" She continued that even a single phone call from jail to the victim would prompt her to write to the superior-court judge overseeing Dixon’s existing five-year felony probation.

The judge also described conditions at the county jail, telling Dixon the facility is overcrowded and that being in custody there could create additional personal danger. She urged him to accept custody, complete required programs, and stay away from the victim.

Prosecution and defense statements

Assistant prosecutors outlined the state’s factual bases across the three cases, noting recurring domestic disturbances at the same address and, in one incident, an actively bleeding injury caused when Dixon allegedly slammed the victim’s hand in a door.

Defense counsel Owen Lynch said Dixon is 25, has three children, and does not have a history of violent offenses outside his relationship with the victim; Lynch asked that the court apply credit for time already served.

Court orders and next steps

- Sentences: 12 months to serve on each case (concurrent). Counts that were duplicative were merged.
- Credit for time served: The court will apply credit from the date of lockup; exact calculation is left to the sheriff’s office.
- Conditions: No contact with the victim; probation and custody terms to be enforced by probation and the sheriff.

- Judge's admonition on repeated contacts and potential further court action: \"You're about to spend 12 months in jail because you don't know how to listen ...

Ending: The court’s orders take effect immediately; Dixon will be returned to custody and the sheriff and county probation office will implement credit and monitoring procedures.","After accepting guilty pleas in three related cases involving the same victim, Judge Tammy Long Hayward sentenced Raquan Lamar Monte Dixon to concurrent 12-month terms to serve and admonished him sharply to cease contact with the victim, warning of additional consequences including possible action on an existing felony probation.","actionData","errors"]
