A Brooks man

got a 60-day jail sentence in Peachtree City Municipal Court Wednesday

morning for driving with a revoked license and driving an unlicensed vehicle.

James Osburn,

32, was not a candidate for probation because of four cases on his record

for violating probation, said judge Eric Maxwell.

"You probably

have about 20 speeding tickets," Maxwell told Osburn.

The judge also

suspended Osburn's license "again."

"I wish

I could keep you out of Fayette County but you live here," Maxwell

continued. "I'm afraid you're going to run over somebody."

Maxwell gave

Osburn credit for his time already served in jail.

Maxwell also

sentenced another man to 30 days in jail for violating probation. According

to officials, Taurus Render failed to report to his probation officer

as he was ordered to by the court.

Render was

also sentenced to a $679 fine, which once he paid in full would end his

probation with Peachtree City, Maxwell ruled.

During a slate

of brief bench trials, another man was found not guilty of failure to

yield. Bryan Toma, 48, said when he made the turn off Ga. Highway 74 onto

Paschall Road, the oncoming traffic was still stopped.

The officer

who pulled Toma over was correct in doing so, but since none of the vehicles

had to apply their brakes to avoid Toma, that worked in his favor, Maxwell

said.

David Arribas-Jiminez,
