Four defendants were arraigned in Warren County Circuit Court Friday on charges for which they were indicted by the January term of the grand jury.

Jurors were chosen and sworn in by Circuit Judge Isadore Patrick on Jan. 24. They reviewed evidence against defendants accused of felonies, issuing indictments in 85 cases.

Indictments are not made public until the defendants have been arraigned, or formally advised of the charges against them, in court.

Indictments against 13 defendants were announced Jan. 27, and another 30 individuals were arraigned Jan. 28.

Patrick had scheduled additional arraignments for Feb. 4 which were postponed because of icy weather.

Other defendants have had or will have their attorneys formally waive the arraignment. Arrest warrants have been issued for others who did not report for their scheduled arraignment.

No schedule has been set for those still to be arraigned.

Defendants whose indictments were announced Friday were:

• Jerry Alexander, 43, 1202 Church St., Port Gibson — five counts of prescription forgery, Dec. 12, 2009.

• Carlos W. Richardson, 38, 126 Fleetwood Drive — embezzlement, June 7.
