ALLEGED VIOLATIONS
The probation officer believes that the offender has violated the following condition(s) of supervision: Violation No. Nature of Noncompliance
I. The defendant shall refrain from any unlawful use of a controlled substance:
On October 10, 2012, Mr. Jones submitted a urine sample at the probation office, which tested positive for cocaine. He initially denied any new use, but on October 23, 2012, he admitted that he had recently used cocaine.Compliance with Supervision Conditions and Prior Interventions: Shedrick Jones is a resident of Davidson County, Tennessee, and has been under the federal supervision of the
U.S. Probation Office since February 23, 2012. He had been employed at Goodwill Industries since January
2012, but quit in August 2012, due to health issues. He is currently attempting to obtain disability. Mr. Jones
lives alone in Nashville, Tennessee. The probation officer completes frequent surprise home visits at the
offender's residence.
On May 21, 2012, a 12B petition requesting a hearing to modify the offender's conditions was filed by U.S.
Probation Officer Karen Webb, notifying the Court of the offender's positive drug screen for cocaine and
marijuana. Said petition was signed by Your Honor on May 25, 2012, ordering a modification hearing to be held
on June 8, 2012. Prior to the hearing, the parties involved reached an agreement, wherein Mr. Jones agreed to
have his conditions of supervised release modified to include drug treatment. An agreed order reflecting this
agreement was signed by Your Honor on June 8, 2012.
On August 21, 2012, a 12A petition was submitted to Your Honor detailing that the offender tested positive for
cocaine on July 23, 2012. U.S. Probation Officer Roger Carrier issued a verbal reprimand to Mr. Jones for
violating his conditions of supervised release by using illegal drugs. Mr. Jones was re-instructed as to all his
conditions, and specifically instructed not to possess or use illegal substances. Mr. Jones began attending the
Low-Intensity Outpatient Program(LIOP) at Centerstone, in Madison, Tennessee, in August 2012. Participants
in the LIOP engage weekly group drug treatment sessions. In addition, Mr. Jones was enrolled in the U.S.
Probation drug testing program at the most intensive level.
This probation officer issued a letter of reprimand to Mr. Jones for his most recent violation of the conditions
of his supervised release. He will be continued in Phase 1 of the LIOP and continue drug testing at the most
intensive level. He was advised that any further positive urine screens would result in his being taken back to
Court for a revocation. The offender's term of supervision is scheduled to expire on February 22, 2013.
U.S. Probation Officer Recommendation: At this time, the probation officer is requesting that no additional action be taken by the Court. It is
recommended Mr. Jones continue on supervised release and undergo increased monitoring by the probation
officer. Any additional violations will be reported to the Court in a timely manner.
The U. S. Attorney's Office has been advised of the offender's noncompliance. Approved:______________
