Several airport‑area trespass and assault cases resolved; court orders bans from incident locations
Summary
The court accepted negotiated pleas in multiple cases involving airport or transit‑station incidents (criminal trespass, battery, disorderly conduct). Sentences were typically short custodial terms or probation suspensions with conditions barring return to the incident location.
A cluster of cases tied to airport or transit locations were resolved on June 2, 2026. Demetrius Fields pleaded guilty to criminal trespass connected with entering the Atlanta airport atrium after a prior trespass warning; the court sentenced him to 12 months with 30 days to serve (credit for time served) and ordered he not return to the airport site (6,000 North Terminal Parkway).
Chavevel Stewart Jones pleaded guilty to simple battery and disorderly conduct after he threw an alcoholic drink at a victim working at an airport store; the court accepted the negotiated pleas, imposed concurrent short terms with credit for time served, ordered no contact with the victim and set a restitution hearing to determine any medical bill claims. Kenneth Pack accepted a nolo plea related to an assault at the MARTA station at the airport with concurrent suspended balances conditioned on no return to the station and no contact with the victim.
The court repeatedly imposed or confirmed site‑specific no‑return conditions (for example, “do not return to Hartfield‑Jackson Atlanta International Airport unless ticketed” and “do not return to the MARTA/airport station”), explaining that the no‑return conditions aim to prevent repeat incidents and assist victims’ safety. Probation or jail staff were directed to apply credit for time served where applicable and to process release paperwork.
