Charge Number Nature of Violation

VIOLATION__PETITION

3 (PROB12C-TSR) (ND).MRG

Charge 2: FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE PROBATION OFFICER’S

INSTRUCTIONS

On December 20, 2007, the offender was instructed by the probation officer to provide the

Internal Revenue Service with specific requested financial information by February 15,

2008, and failed to do so, in violation of Standard Condition Number 3.

Charge 3: FAILURE TO NOTIFY THE PROBATION OFFICER WITHIN 72

HOURS OF BEING ARRESTED

On March 12, 2008, the releasee was arrested by West Sacramento Police Department on

charges of Driving on a Suspended License, and he failed to report the contact to the

probation officer in violation of Standard Condition Number 4.

Justification: Mr. Shaw was instructed by the Internal Revenue Service to provide

 requested financial information by March 27, 2007. When he failed to do so, he was then

served a summons to appear at the Internal Revenue Service office with records on July

18, 2007. He failed to do so. The Internal Revenue Service officer then contacted the

probation officer and a meeting was arranged on December 20, 2007, after it was clear Mr.

Shaw was not cooperating. At that time, Mr. Shaw agreed to cooperate and to provide all

requested information to Officer Palmer and myself by February 15, 2008. The information

that he has failed to provide are tax returns from December 31, 1997 to December 31,

2005. The Internal Revenue Service filed his 1993 return for him but he has the

opportunity to refile it himself if he thinks their return is erroneous. Mr. Shaw indicates that

he would like to try to claim one of his children as a deduction for that year and redo the

return, but he has failed to provide a new return. 

Mr. Shaw has been marginal in his compliance with the conditions of supervision. He has

worked sporadically in the mortgage industry. He has been told by the probation officer on

several occasions that he needs to secure another part-time job or full-time job so that he

is gainfully employed full-time. He stays on the fringe of compliance. His most recent

arrest and failure to report it when he saw the probation officer the following day is very

telling about his lax attitude toward his supervision requirements. 

Bail/Detention: It is not believed that Mr. Shaw is either a flight-risk or a danger to the

community and therefore detention is not requested.

I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct.

of a firearm; or, 3) Refusal to comply with mandatory drug testing. If the violation involves

the use of a controlled substance, the Court has the discretion to find that "use" constitutes

more than three times over the course of one year.
