Childress – On Monday, July 16, 2012, four pleas took place which resulted in two convictions and two deferred adjudications.

Luke Inman, the District Attorney for the 100th Judicial District, assisted by Greg Buckley, prosecuted the cases for the State of Texas with the Honorable Judge Stuart Messer presiding.

A total of $3,000 in fines was assessed as a result of the pleas that took place on July 16. In addition to the fines, the defendants were required to pay a total of $1,498 in court costs and $2,098 restitution.

1. Tammy K Davis pleaded true to allegations listed in the State’s Motion to Adjudicate and was convicted and sentenced to 20 months in the State Jail Division of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.

On Feb. 1, 2010, Davis originally pleaded guilty to the state jail felony offense of securing execution of document by deception that occurred on Jan. 10, 2008, in Hall County.

The State filed the motion to adjudicate on June 21, 2012, alleging one violation of community supervision.

Davis, 48-year-old, pleaded true to violations contained in the State’s motion and was sentenced to twenty months in the TDCJ. Davis is also required to pay $376 in court costs to Hall County, $1,958 restitution, and a $1,000 fine.

The SCRAM device monitors any alcohol intake by the person wearing the device, according to Inman.

“This device is a great tool for first-time alcohol related offenders that genuinely want to get back on the right path,” said Inman. “This defendant complied with a tough program for over a year and received a conviction to a lesser-included offense.”
