treatment program participation, financial disclosure, consent to search, alcohol abstinence,

no contact with the victim, and 40 hours of community service.

In a Petition for Warrant or Summons for Offender Under Supervision dated June 4,

2007, Mr. Jerrod Akins, U.S. Probation Officer, alleges the following violations of

defendant’s conditions of supervised release:

(1) Committing the crime of assault in the 4th degree, in violation of the general

condition that he not commit another federal, state, or local crime.

(2) Consuming alcohol on May 25, 2007, in violation of the special condition

that he abstain from the use of alcohol.

(3) Having contact with Anthony Ray Jackson, a convicted felon, without the

permission of the probation officer, in violation of standard condition number 9.

(4) Having contact with Krystal Nicole Hecock, a convicted felon, without the

permission of the probation officer, in violation of standard condition number 9.

(5) Associating with a person engaged in criminal activity, Calvin Ralph James,

in violation of standard condition number 9.

(6) Failing to complete 40 hours of community service, in violation of the special

condition that he complete 40 hours of community service.

The defendant was advised of the allegations and advised of his rights. Defendant

admitted to violations 3, 4, and 5, and waived any rights to an evidentiary hearing as to

whether they occurred. Alleged violations 1, 2, and 6, were withdrawn and dismissed by the

government. 

I therefore recommend that the Court find the defendant to have violated the terms

and conditions of his supervised release as to violation numbers 3, 4, and 5, and that the

Court conduct a hearing limited to disposition. A disposition hearing on these violations will

be set before the Honorable Robert S. Lasnik at a date and time to be determined. 

Pending a final determination by the Court, the defendant has been released, subject
