ALLEGED VIOLATIONS
The probation officer believes that the offender has violated the following condition(s) of supervision:
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ ¦Violation¦Nature of Noncompliance ¦ ¦No. ¦ ¦ +---------+------------------------------------------------------------------------------¦ ¦1. ¦The defendant shall refrain from any unlawful use of a controlled substance: ¦ +---------+------------------------------------------------------------------------------¦ ¦ ¦On September 27, 2012, Mr. Wallace was given a random drug test that was ¦ ¦ ¦positive for cocaine. He denied using any illegal substance. The testing lab ¦ ¦ ¦confirmed the positive results. On October 4, 2012, another drug test was ¦ ¦ ¦administered that was also positive for cocaine. Following the drug test, Mr. ¦ ¦ ¦Wallace admitted to using cocaine on September 29, 2012, but denied more ¦ ¦ ¦recent drug use. The lab did not confirm the positive results of the second ¦ ¦ ¦test. On October 9, 2012, Mr. Wallace submitted a drug test that was positive ¦ ¦ ¦for cocaine. He denied new use of cocaine since September 29, 2012. The lab ¦ ¦ ¦confirmed the positive results of the third test. ¦ +----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ Compliance with Supervision Conditions and Prior Interventions: Mr. Wallace began supervision on September 16, 2010, and is due to terminate supervision on September 15, 2013. He was employed from July 2010 until February 2011 at Precision Plumbing. He remained unemployed from February 2011 until April 2012, during which time he completed a welding training program. Since April 2012, he has been employed at Rescue Electric. Mr. Wallace was sent for a substance abuse assessment in November 2010. Substance abuse treatment was not recommended at that time. Prior to September 27, 2012, Mr. Wallace had submitted five negative drug tests. As a result of the recent positive drug tests, his substance abuse testing has been increased to detect future drug use. He has been referred for substance abuse assessment and subsequent treatment. He has been informed that further noncompliance could result in sanctions by the Court. U.S. Probation Officer Recommendation: It is recommended that Mr. Wallace be continued on supervised release with no further action at this time so that he may benefit from substance abuse treatment. The U. S. Attorney's Office had been notified and concurs with this recommendation. Approved: ________
