FOR OFFENDER UNDER SUPERVISION

Rev.04/2005

2 PROB12C.TSR(NORTHERN).MRG

PETITIONING THE COURT

( X ) TO ISSUE A WARRANT

The probation officer alleges the offender has violated the following condition(s) of

supervision:

Charge Number Nature of Violation

Charge 1: NEW LAW VIOLATION

On May 30, 2005, the offender created a disturbance at an apartment complex located at

930 "I" Street, Sparks, Nevada, and was subsequently arrested for Disturbing the Peace

by the Sparks Police Department. The above is in violation of the Standard Condition that

states "The defendant shall not commit another federal, state, or local crime."

Charge 2: ASSOCIATING WITH A CONVICTED FELON

Between on or about January 14, 2005, and May 27, 2005, the offender associated with

Quanah Sala, a convicted felon, in violation of Standard Condition Number 9, which states

in part "The defendant....shall not associate with any person convicted of a felon."

Charge 3: LEAVING THE DISTRICT WITHOUT PERMISSION

On May 27, 2005, the offender traveled out of the District of Nevada to the Eastern District

of California, and to the city of Lodi, without permission of the probation officer, in violation

of Standard Condition Number 1, which states "The defendant shall not leave the judicial

district without permission of the court or probation officer."

FOR OFFENDER UNDER SUPERVISION

Rev.04/2005

3 PROB12C.TSR(NORTHERN).MRG

Charge 4: FALSIFYING THE WRITTEN MONTHLY REPORT FORM

The written monthly report forms submitted by the offender for the months of January

through April 2005, falsely indicated that he was residing at 5745 Ann Madeline, Sparks,

Nevada, when in fact he was also residing at 810 G Street, Sparks, Nevada. The above

is in violation of Standard Condition Number 2, which states in part "The defendant....shall

submit a truthful and complete report," and in violation of 18 USC 1001 - Falsifying Federal

Documents.

Justification: Since his release from custody on January 14, 2005, the offender has

been supervised in the District of Nevada, while residing in Sparks, Nevada. The offender

has an extensive criminal history including drug charges, several weapon charges, forgery,

theft, and violence. The victims of the above, Disturbing the Peace arrest in Sparks,

Nevada, may be at risk of being harmed by the offender. 

Bail/Detention: Given the nature of the charges and potential penalties, the defendant

is viewed as both a danger and a flight risk. It is recommended he be ordered detained.

This will authorize the United States Marshal to lodge a detainer with authorities in Nevada

so the violation may be addressed after adjudication of the state charges.
