Former Rockdale County Probate Court worker Freya Pearson, through her attorney Michael Waldrop, has applied to for an arrest warrant for Probate Court Judge Charles K. Mays Sr. for theft of services felony regarding the approximately $20,000 of backpay she alleges is due for work on setting up a mental health or veteran's accountability court. 

The application for the warrant was submitted to Rockdale County Clerk of Court's office around 3 p.m. Monday. The application was for Rockdale County Superior Court to decide on whether to issue the warrant. A letter asking for the recusal of Superior Court Judge David Irwin and Judge Robert Mumford was also submitted by Waldrop and Pearson.

Waldrop said there had been no response from Mays by Friday, the deadline he had listed in a letter sent to Judge Mays Oct. 15, and no response was received over the weekend.

DJ Asante, listed as an agent of the Mays Family Trust on court documents, told The News on Friday that the family would issue a statement over the weekend. No statement was received as of Monday morning. 

The lengthy warrant application goes into detail in arguing why the warrant should be issued. "It's very detailed for a reason," said Waldrop. "This is obviously a serious matter of serious magnitude. We wanted to treat it as such."
