Special Condition #17: You shall abstain from the use of illegal controlled substances, and shall submit to urinalysis and sweat patch testing, as directed by the supervising officer, but no more than 6 tests per month, in order to confirm continued abstinence from these substances.
Supporting Evidence : On July 7, 2022, this officer was advised by STOP that Mr. Best had failed to show for drug testing on July 5, 2022. This officer spoke to Mr. Best on July 7, 2022, and he was unaware of his requirement to report on July 5, 2022. He was directed to make up the drug test on July 8, 2022, however, he failed to report again.
The U.S. Probation Office respectfully recommends the Court issue a summons requiring the offender to appear to answer to the allegation(s) contained in this petition.
I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct.
