Judge Tammy Long Hayward sets bench-warrant relief, bond terms and resets in Clayton County jail arraignment
Summary
At a jail arraignment calendar, Judge Tammy Long Hayward ordered a bench-warrant set-aside for Audesha (Ardasia) Daniel, approved a consent bond arrangement for Quindarius Deontay Redden with a no-contact condition, reset Ricky Scott’s case to July 14 and appointed counsel to review Donald White’s pending transfer.
Judge Tammy Long Hayward presided over the Clayton County State Court jail arraignment calendar and handled several procedural matters affecting detained defendants.
The court set aside a bench warrant and allowed Audesha (listed as Ardasia in the record) Daniel to maintain a plea of not guilty while defense counsel said she had not received notice and that counsel had updated her contact information. "She mentioned that she didn't receive notice, so she knows that she needs to update her address," counsel for Daniel said. The judge directed counsel to file the bench-warrant set-aside paperwork so the matter can proceed with the not-guilty plea intact.
On the case of Quindarius Deontay Redden, the prosecutor told the court the state would consider a consent bond but requested $8,000 on a simple-battery charge. Defense counsel noted Mr. Redden already had bonds on other charges. The judge emphasized that any order must bar contact with the alleged victim, warning of "severe consequences" for violating such an order, and directed defense to prepare the order. The parties discussed bond amounts on the record and the court recorded the parties' positions on the consent-bond request.
Ricky Hamilton Scott's matter was continued to coordinate with a related magistrate-court case. Counsel told the court they had waived preliminary hearings in both matters; the judge reset the case to July 14 to allow coordination with the magistrate process and to avoid overloading a single jail calendar.
The court also addressed a pending transfer for Donald White. The judge appointed the law firm "Melissa Holt and Dennis" to review the transfer request and to advise Mr. White while the court seeks confirmation from the superior-court office that it will accept the transfer.
The jail calendar concluded with those procedural rulings and scheduling orders; Judge Long Hayward announced the next calendar beginning at 11 a.m.
Next steps: counsel was directed to submit a bench-warrant set-aside for Daniel, prepare any no-contact language for Redden's order, and counsel for White will complete a review of the transfer request while the court checks acceptance by the superior court.
