Man pleads no contest to arson; sentenced to six years with pre-sentence credits
Summary
Roy Daniel Mayo entered a no-contest plea to a 2023 arson charge; the court sentenced him to six years in the Tennessee Department of Corrections with credit for time served and dismissed remaining counts in that indictment.
Roy Daniel Mayo entered a no-contest plea to a single arson count today; the court accepted the plea and sentenced him to six years in the Tennessee Department of Corrections, with pre-sentence jail credits applied from August 12, 2021. Remaining counts tied to the indictment were dismissed as part of the agreement.
Defense counsel confirmed the defendant reviewed the charges and the plea consequences; prosecution presented a factual summary of property damage and a pursuit related to the alleged arson. The judge advised the defendant that TDOC, not the court, controls the calculation of good-time credits, while the court would apply jail credits in the judgment. The case concluded with the judge entering the sentence and directing the clerk to provide the judgment paperwork.
