Thomas Ray was arrested in Fayette County in September 2012. He
was accused of driving an ATV, getting into an accident leaving the scene, and
having a handgun while intoxicated.
According to documents from Fayette County Circuit Court, on
August 30, 2013, Ray entered a plea arrangement in which some counts were dismissed
and for others, he got probation.
A felony vehicular assault indictment was pleaded down to
misdemeanor reckless driving, for which he was not eligible for diversion. He
was sentenced to 30 days in jail. It is time he will serve over the course of 15
weekends.
So far, he completed three weekends.
Ray reports to the Fayette County Jail on Friday and leaves on
Sunday. During the week, he reports to his day job as a police officer with
Memphis Police Department.
MPD says Ray is on non-enforcement status -- desk duty. He will
not be professionally disciplined until after an administrative hearing, which
thus far has not happened in this case.
