Jordan Armstead pleads to unauthorized-use charge; court defers finding and orders restitution and probation conditions
Summary
Jordan Armstead pleaded to unauthorized use of a vehicle; the court deferred finding of guilt on a plea that includes probationary terms such as restitution of $1,200, community-service hours, and required life-skills programming.
Jordan Armstead appeared with counsel and pleaded to unauthorized use of a vehicle (cause 2025CR003910). The court accepted the plea paperwork and the defendant’s waiver of jury trial and other rights and found sufficient evidence in the state’s exhibits.
Per the plea agreement, the state recommended deferred adjudication for three years with 200 hours of community-service restitution, a tap evaluation, life-skills training, and no contact with named victims (including Sincere Mendoza). The parties agreed to a $1,200 restitution amount, and the court deferred a finding of guilt while applying the defendant for deferred adjudication.
Judge Stephanie Boyd emphasized that defendants who accept deferred adjudication must comply with program conditions; she accepted the stipulations in lieu of live testimony and set future monitoring steps and possible restitution hearings if additional damages arise. Defense counsel asked the court for credit for a class the defendant had already completed; the court allowed the probation office to consider credit toward community-service hours.
Ending: The court deferred a finding of guilt and placed Armstead on community supervision with the agreed restitution and program conditions; further monitoring and a restitution-setting process were ordered.
