Compliance with Supervision Conditions and Prior Interventions:
Frederick Owens is a resident of Davidson County, Tennessee, and has been under the federal supervision of the U.S. Probation Office since December 30, 2010. He has been unemployed for the majority of his supervision, but has recently secured employment. He lives with girlfriend in Antioch, Tennessee. The probation officer completes frequent surprise home visits at the offender's residence.
A 12A was filed on April 11, 2012, informing the Court that the offender had tested positive for cocaine. No action was requested at that time. Your Honor signed said petition on April 11, 2012, ordering no action as requested. The offender was placed in the U.S. Probation drug testing program in March 2012. He was also referred to substance abuse treatment at Centerstone, in Madison, TN. Prior to this recent drug use, the offender appeared to be making significant progress in treatment. As a result of this relapse, the offender will remain in an intensive drug treatment and testing program.
This probation officer issued a verbal reprimand to Mr. Owens for violating his conditions of supervised release by using illegal drugs. Mr. Owens' conditions were reviewed with him, and specifically, he was instructed not to possess or use illegal substances. Ms. Owens understands that any future illegal drug use will most likely result in a request for a summons and a recommendation for revocation. Mr. Owens will continue to attend weekly drug treatment at Centerstone, in Madison, Tennessee. The offender's term of supervision is scheduled to expire on December 29, 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. Owens 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.
