Najee Isaiah Clark pleads guilty to DUI; sentenced to 12 months with two days jail and probation conditions

Najee Isaiah Clark entered a guilty plea to a DUI charge in State Court of Clayton County on Sept. 23, 2025. The court accepted a negotiated disposition: 12 months with two days to serve (credit for time served), with the remainder of the sentence probated. The sentence included a $300 fine (plus surcharges), 40 hours of community service, a substance-abuse evaluation and any recommended treatment, random alcohol and drug testing during probation, and a DUI-risk-reduction course. The factual basis presented by the state said officers responded to a vehicle accident on Feb. 11, 2022, observed indicators of impairment, performed standardized field sobriety tests (including HGN with 6 of 6 clues and one-leg stand with 4 of 4 clues), and obtained a blood alcohol concentration of 0.129. The state’s recommendation matched the court’s sentence. Judge Tammy Long Hayward admonished Clark about the availability of ride services and the consequences of failing probation; the court instructed him to report to probation intake in Courtroom 305 and warned that failure to appear could lead to a bench warrant and arrest. The court also entered a no-contact disposition on a related case (2023CR05258) as part of the agreement.
