The State Court of Clayton County handled its Nov. 25, 2025 jail calendar by accepting pleas and stipulations in a string of cases that produced short custodial terms, suspended balances and no‑contact orders.

Judge presiding over the virtual calendar accepted a stipulation in case 2025CR00021 and sentenced Anthony Lamar Brooks to 180 days with credit for time served, and ordered that Brooks have no contact with victim Charlene Henderson. The court noted the related matter had been transferred for felony adjudication. ‘‘You're agreeing to the technicals only,’’ the judge said as she accepted the parties’ agreement. Henderson appeared online and described repeated violations of a prior order, saying officers ‘‘laughed and said, oh, I guess she just don't want her husband to leave.’’

In a traffic matter, the court accepted an internal plea in 2022CR02037: Mister Price pleaded guilty to an improper u‑turn and was sentenced to 12 months with three days’ credit for time served; the balance of the sentence was suspended. A second case involving Price (2022CR02624) was moved up to Superior Court for adjudication and the court asked staff to forward materials to speed that process.

The court accepted a nolo contendere plea in 2025CR10464 from Jacqueline Cummings on a simple‑assault charge tied to an alleged knife incident. The state recommended, and the judge ordered, 12 months with 38 days’ credit for time served and a suspended balance on the condition that Cummings have no violent or harassing contact with Jasmine Davidson. Defense counsel told the court the episode followed a mental‑health crisis and asked that the defendant be evaluated and transported to Grady Hospital if bed space and contacts were confirmed; the judge advised family members to coordinate transport and to contact mental‑health resources such as the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI).

‘‘If she's having a mental‑health crisis, do not call 911. Call 988,’’ the judge told family members and others who raised concerns about accessing care.

Several probation matters produced short terms and continued supervision. The court accepted probation‑office recommendations for:

- Tracy Young (2022CR01596): 60 days to serve (credit for time in custody as noted by probation).
- Jermaine Parks (2021CR07902): revocation and a 30‑day term with credit; the court ordered continued testing, documentation of community‑support meetings and resumption of probation reporting.

In a family‑violence matter, Patrick Eaton (2025CR10462) entered an interim guilty plea to the primary count; counts 2 and 3 were merged. The court imposed 12 months with 24 days’ credit for time served, probated a $300 fine (plus surcharges pending calculation), required anger‑management classes and 40 hours of community service, and imposed a no‑contact condition with the named victim. Eaton’s parents addressed the court about medication adherence and housing instability; the judge suggested guardianship proceedings through probate court are the mechanism for family members who want legal authority to direct care.

The court also accepted a no‑contest plea from Markel Henry (2020CR08482) on learner‑license and distracted‑driving counts and imposed a 12‑month sentence with eight days’ credit, balance suspended.

Several matters were continued, transferred or set for ex parte hearings (including a planned private hearing for a separate MHE matter). The judge closed the calendar with holiday remarks and instructions to coordinate any transports or follow‑up paperwork with court staff and probation.

What happens next: most sentences include probation conditions or referral to superior court for further adjudication; family members seeking to direct care or transport for someone in crisis were told to coordinate with the jail, NAMI and the probate court for guardianship inquiries.
