Cheatham County Criminal Court addressed restitution owed by Courtney Daniel Williams. Victim Candice Beasley told the court the theft and related conduct cost her business and detailed the financial and emotional toll. She said the defendant had paid $600 over about three years against a $7,000 restitution order and urged the court for a firmer payment plan and use of tax refunds.

The court reviewed the plea agreement and restitution terms and set a payment schedule that would satisfy the outstanding $6,400 within the remaining probation term: $266.66 per month. The court also ordered that any tax refund the defendant receives must be applied to restitution, and the defendant must show those returns to probation so the probation office can monitor compliance. The judge noted the victim’s economic losses and the need for an enforceable schedule rather than indefinite extension.

The order allows the defendant to apply to the court to determine how much of a joint tax refund should be applied, if applicable, and preserves probation supervision to enforce payment compliance.

The court set monitoring steps and advised that failure to comply with the payment schedule or to apply refunds as ordered may result in probation violations and further court action.
