Amarillo Division, and on January 21, 2022, he was enrolled in a urine testing program;

tested for COVID-19 and the results returned negative. On February 9, 2022, May reported to 

the U.S. Probation Office and submitted a urine specimen.

and signed an admission statement. May was initially set to release on January 23, 2023; 

however, due to the First Step Act he was granted an early release on January 18, 2022.
