Press Release

On Thursday, February 16, 30 pleas took place in the 100th Judicial District Court in Childress County.

Luke Inman, the District Attorney for the 100th Judicial District, along with Assistant District Attorney Harley Caudle, prosecuted the cases for the State of Texas, with the Honorable Judge Stuart Messer presiding.

The 30 resolved cases consisted of one first degree felony, four second degree felonies, six third degree felonies, 15 state jail felonies and three class A misdemeanors.

The majority of the information docket consisted of drug related offenses, according to Inman.

While other cases sometimes get filed as informations and placed on these large dockets that we have twelve times a year, the vast majority of the cases on the docket are drug related offenses,” said Inman. “This information docket speeds up the process of felony prosecution for drug related offenses which allows our grand juries to focus on other felonies.”

A total of $43,000 in fines were assessed, $12,000 of which were paid upfront by the defendants at the time of the plea.

We haven’t moved this many cases in one week since February of 2020,” said Inman. “It’s great getting attorneys and defendants back in the court room and moving a massive amount of cases off the docket.

An additional $9,860 in court costs and $4,370 in restitution were assessed as a result of the pleas.
