Heading: Barr's Criminal History

Text: Barr has an extensive criminal history of twenty-five reported felonies with five convictions, including Kidnapping in the Second Degree, Escape after Conviction and Attempt to Commit a Class C Felony; and sixty-six reported misdemeanors with thirty-eight convictions, including a variety of assault thirds, Unlawful Imprisonment in the Second Degree, Escape in the Third Degree and Possession With Intent to Deliver Cocaine. He has also been convicted twice for violation of parole violations. As a result of these convictions, Barr was incarcerated for most of his daughter's life, including the time she was brought into DFS custody in November 2006 until October 2007, and again from January 2008 until April 2008. In addition, at the time of the August 2008 TPR hearing, Barr was again incarcerated, pending trial on numerous new charges. During his most recent probation, Barr was moved from a lower level of supervision to a Level III case load for intensive supervision, because he was considered to have medium high risks and needs. On June 11, 2008, Barr was incarcerated for multiple criminal charges, which included: Assault in the First Degree, Possession of a Firearm During the Commission of a Felony, Possession of a Deadly Weapon by a Person Prohibited, Reckless Endangerment in the First Degree, and Criminal Mischief. Although he maintained his innocence of those charges at the TPR hearing and was released shortly after the Family Court issued its decision, he remained incarcerated for those pending charges at the time of the TPR hearing and was thus unable to promptly assume custody of Nancy.
