PETITION FOR WARRANT OR SUMMONS FOR OFFENDER UNDER SUPERVISION
THE HONORABLE THOMAS O. RICE, UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
PETITIONING THE COURT
To incorporate the violation(s) contained in this petition in future proceedings with the violation(s) previously reported to the Court on 02/13/2024 and 05/21/2024.
On November 13, 2023, Mr. Jackson Bowers signed his conditions relative to case number 2:19CR00051-TOR-1, indicating that he understood all conditions as ordered by the Court.
The probation officer believes that the offender has violated the following condition(s) of supervision:
Violation Number
Nature of Noncompliance
4
Special Condition #5 : You must not enter into or remain in any establishment where alcohol is the primary item of sale. You must abstain from alcohol and must submit to urinalysis and Breathalyzer testing as directed by the supervising officer, but no more than 6 tests per month, in order to confirm continued abstinence from this substance. Supporting Evidence : Mr. Bowers is alleged to have violated special condition number 5 by ingesting alcohol, previously occurring on or about June 14, 2024, based on both urinalysis testing and the client's admission of such use. Specifically, and as the Court may recall, Mr. Bowers was previously ordered by the Court to surrender to the Spokane Residential Reentry Center (RRC) during a Court hearing held on June 5, 2024. This action was ordered, in part, to address Mr. Bowers' previously alleged ongoing misconduct.
On June 14, 2024, Mr. Bowers surrendered to the Spokane RRC as directed, and as a part of the facility intake process, did submit to urinalysis testing. On June 20, 2024, the lab report specific to Mr. Bowers' submitted urinalysis sample was received by the undersigned officer, which confirmed Mr. Bowers' urinalysis sample was positive for alcohol. On June 20, 2024, the undersigned officer met with Mr. Bowers at the Spokane RRC and confronted him as to the received test result. During dialogue, Mr. Bowers admitted having "drunk several beers" the night prior, on June 13, 2024, with dinner, indicating that he did not believe it to be "a big deal" as he did not engage in any further misconduct after drinking. Mr. Bowers was reminded of his no alcohol condition that restricts any use of alcohol, which he stated his awareness. Mr. Bowers did sign a use admission form serving to memorialize the statement. Despite identified concern, Mr. Bowers indicated that he is trying "to do good."
The U.S. Probation Office respectfully recommends the Court to incorporate the violation(s) contained in this petition in future proceedings with the violation(s) previously reported to the Court.
I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct.
