Former Shelby County Criminal Court Judge Melissa Boyd on Friday pleaded guilty in her criminal trial to a single harassment charge and was given judicial diversion for 11 months and 29 days. She also was ordered to a 28-day stay at a Jackson rehabilitation facility, after which she will have to enter the Shelby County Veteran’s Court Program. Boyd’s plea agreement also means that she cannot contact Lashanta Rudd, a woman she was allegedly in a personal relationship and the person who she pleaded guilty to harassing. The Daily Memphian has the story.
