Justin Palmertree was granted entranced into the Fifth District Drug Court Intervention Program. Palmertree went before Loper for possession of methamphetamine, more than two grams but less than 10 grams. Assistant District Attorney Brandon Langford said the state wouldn’t move forward on a pending charge Palmertree has for the same thing, if he successfully completed the program.
Austin Leach was arraigned on a count of possession of stolen property. Leach’s bond was revoked because he was recently arrested for domestic violence-aggravated assault.
Also, during a status conference for Keith Bland, Judge Joey Loper ordered for Bland to be mentally evaluated. Bland intends to represent himself pro se. Bland also asked Loper to recuse himself because he said Loper had a “hidden agenda,” to which Loper declined his request.
