CAUSE 

Request for Modifying the 

Conditions or Terms of Supervision 

with Consent of the Offender 

Case Number: 4:1 ICR00279-001 SWW 

On September 10, 2015, Arkansas State Police initiated a traffic stop and made contact with Mr. Horton, who 

was earlier observed to be at the rest stop on U.S. Highway 63 near Black Rock, Arkansas. Mr. Horton was 

issued a warning and was allowed to leave. On September 14, 2015, Arkansas State Police was dispatched to the 

same rest stop because an unknown female called into the State Police Headquarters and advised that an 

unknown person was sitting in front of the restrooms. The state trooper made contact with Eric Horton whose 

vehicle fit the description given by the female caller. Mr. Horton was asked to leave the area. Approximately IS 

minutes later, the state trooper returned and Mr. Horton who was still sitting at the rest area. He was 

re-instructed to leave, and he left the area. It was reported to the Arkansas State Police by the Lawrence County, 

Arkansas, Sherifrs Office that on September 24 and 25, 2015, the defendant was at the same rest stop. 

On September 26, 2015, Mr. Horton violated his conditions of supervision as evidenced by his arrest for Public 

Display of Obscenity, Loitering, and Defacing a Public Building, as documented by the Arkansas State Police 

arrest report number B-10-15-263. According to the arrest report, Mr. Horton wrote a lewd statement on a rest 

stop wall on U.S. Highway 63 near Black Rock, Arkansas. Marijuana was found in his vehicle, and he was also 

found to be at that rest stop after having been instructed to leave. Mr. Horton admitted that he had written the 

lewd statement in the rest room. The case is pending in the Lawrence County, Arkansas, Circuit Court, with a 

pending court date of December 16, 2015. 

On November 9, 2015, Mr. Horton informed the probation office that he admitted himself into the residential 

program offered by Jump Start Ministries on November 7, 2015, after being released from the Lawrence 

County, Arkansas, Detention Center on November 6, 2015. He advised the program is a Christ-centered, long 

tenn residential program that provides a safe clean environment. Mr. Horton reported that he hoped the 

program would help him get his life back on track. Mr. Horton participated in the program for 30 days and was 

released on December 7, 201 S. Mr. Horton did not wish to participate in the program for longer than 30 days 

because their program rules did not allow him to take his prescribed psychotropic medication, as it is a mood 

altering substance. 

On November 17, 2015, the probation office met with Mr. Horton to address his noncompliance. It was agreed 

he would continue to participate in the residential program at Jump Start Ministries. Due to his recent discharge 

from the residential program, Mr. Horton was referred to out-patient individual substance abuse counseling and 

out-patient individual mental health counseling at Mid-South Health Systems in Walnut Ridge, Arkansas. The 

U.S. Probation Office is also requesting Mr. Horton's condition's be modified to include location monitoring for 

the purpose of using it as a controlling strategy to provide enhanced accountability of Mr. Horton's daily 

interactions. 

On December 7, 2015, Federal Public Defender Latrece Oray was contacted telephonically to review the waiver 

of hearing to modify conditions of probation with Mr. Horton. After speaking with Ms. Oray, Mr. Horton 

signed the attached Waiver of Hearing to Modify Conditions of Probation, agreeing to the modification.
