Clayton County judge revokes six days of probation for Jared Alexander Major, orders weekly recovery meetings and re‑evaluation
Summary
Judge Tammy Long Hayward accepted a stipulation in the revocation proceeding for Jared Alexander Major and revoked six days of probation with credit for time served; Major must test at each report, attend one AA/NA meeting per week and complete a substance‑abuse re‑evaluation by April 30, 2025.
Judge Tammy Long Hayward accepted a stipulation and modified probation conditions for Jared Alexander Major on April 22, 2025, in Clayton County State Court. Major was before the court on a petition to revoke probation in case 2021CR06860 after a positive cocaine test and an attempted adulteration of a urine specimen.
The judge revoked six days of Major’s probation with credit for time served and ordered him to report to probation and test at every report. The court added a requirement that Major attend and show proof of one Alcoholics Anonymous or Narcotics Anonymous meeting per week, and ordered an additional substance‑abuse evaluation in which Major must disclose the March 27 positive cocaine result and the attempt to adulterate the sample by April 30, 2025. The court removed the previous option for nonreporting with the exception of periodic random screens.
Why it matters: The order combines punitive and treatment‑oriented conditions; the judge emphasized that Major’s attempt to conceal a positive drug test was a primary concern and warned that further dishonesty could prompt incarceration for the remaining balance of the sentence.
Courtroom details and reasoning: Judge Hayward summarized the factual history — Major had been sentenced to 12 months on probation in March 2025, with roughly 10 months remaining, and failed to comply with a drug screen on March 27, 2025, when probation staff detected a positive test for cocaine and evidence of attempted adulteration. Probation recommended revoking six days and ordering testing at each report, plus a new evaluation. Probation officer Miss Chang stated the recommendation; the defense agreed to the stipulation. Judge Hayward told Major she was more troubled by the attempted deception than by the positive test itself and stressed the court’s authority to revoke the balance if Major was not honest moving forward.
Major addressed the court, saying he would seek treatment; the judge required specifics and set the evaluation deadline. The court also set a follow‑up appointment for April 24, 2025, at 10:15 a.m.
What the order requires: Major must return to probation with credit for six days revoked and time served credited, submit to testing at each probation report, attend one AA or NA meeting weekly and provide proof of attendance, and complete and disclose a new substance‑abuse evaluation by April 30, 2025. Nonreporting status was removed except for periodic random screens. The court warned that failure to report or further attempts to deceive probation could result in revocation of the remaining sentence and jail time.
Ending note: The court recorded the conditions on the record, gave the defense time to provide any necessary written orders, and scheduled the next administrative steps through probation and court staff.
