A home builder scheduled to go to trial this week for racketeering and mortgage fraud accepted a plea deal in Newton County Superior Court Monday, although the trial was continued to another date. Wayne Keith Mixon, 49, of Athens, entered an "Alford" plea to two counts of residential mortgage fraud, based on two Newton County homes built by his company, Royal Homes. Mixon was sentenced to 20 years, with four in confinement, and a fine of at least $2,000.
