A judge resentenced a defendant after the defense filed a motion to reconsider.
Melvin Lipscomb was initially sentenced to serve 40 days in jail after pleading guilty to second-degree fraud of $1,000 or more. Lipscomb’s 40 day sentence was initially suspended.
It was imposed because he missed multiple court dates. A bench warrant was issued for his arrest on December 12, 2019.
Judge Anita Josey-Herring resentenced Lipscomb to serve zero days in jail, which meant he was able to be released.
Lipscomb has no further hearings pending
