Former Shelby County Judge A. Melissa Boyd was booked back in jail after a judge ordered that diversion be terminated in a harassment case against her. Details on why the warrant was issued were not made available, according to ABC 24, but she was released on her own recognizance. She now will serve one year of probation. Boyd resigned from the bench in April amidst allegations of substance abuse and failure to adhere to court-ordered conditions, including a no-contact order and completion of treatment programs.
