ANNISTON - Calhoun County now has a new district judge with the investiture of Christopher McIntyre at the Calhoun County Courthouse today. McIntyre was joined by other robed judges and nearly 100 people in the audience as Judge Brian P. Howell administered the oath of office. McIntyre was then presented a new gavel by Calhoun County Republican Party Chairman Gene Howard.
McIntyre said he has worked with courthouse staff for over three years and is well-acquainted with employees within the system. He said that recent budget cuts in the court system along with jail overcrowding will make him evaluate rehabilitation programs for certain defendants that pass through his courtroom.
“There is limited funding but there are a lot of people doing rehabs,” McIntyre said. “Some of those people are private. I am going to get with them and see what kind of facilities they run and hopefully they will meet my approval.”
“I will be able to send those folks there [approved rehabilitation centers] and kind of ease the crowding in that way.”
