Judge Cook Receives TARCP “Making A Difference Award”

DeKalb County General Sessions and Juvenile Court Judge Bratten Cook, II has been presented the “Making a Difference” award. The honor is given by the Tennessee Association of Recovery Court Professionals to a judge who has demonstrated statewide leadership for recovery courts. Judge Cook received the award during the 14th annual TARCP Conference this week in Murfreesboro.
Judge Cook’s wife Judy, his daughter Megan, and assistant Tish Summers were all able to come to see Judge Cook receive the “Making a Difference” award.
Twelve years after its beginnings in DeKalb County, the Recovery Court program (formerly known as Drug Court) has grown and is making a difference in the lives of more people, juveniles and adults. Recovery Court for adults, started by Judge Cook in 2006, provides an alternative to incarceration for eligible non-violent offenders, who are deemed substance dependent. Judge Cook began the recovery court program for juveniles in 2002.

A 23 year old Smithville man charged with the rape of a child will make a court appearance next month.
Ruben Alavez Mejia is under a $125,000 bond. He was arrested on Thursday, December 6 at 703 Snow Street by Smithville Police. He is accused of having sex with a 12 year old girl on several occasions from the time she was 11 years old. His court date is January 10.
Mejia also ran afoul of the law on August 27 when he was cited by Smithville Police for driving under the influence, no driver license, failure to exercise due care, and violation of financial responsibility. Police responded to the bridge at the intersection of Broad and South Mountain Street where Mejia had crashed his vehicle head on into the bridge. Mejia was passed out at the scene. After being awakened, Mejia was unable to stand on his own. His eyes were blood shot and he had a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage on his person. He was transported to the emergency room of the hospital.
