Clayton County State Court resolves multiple pleas, sentences in jail calendar
Summary
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.
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.
