By way of background, on February 29, 2024, Mr. Bowman appeared before the Court for a revocation hearing, at which time Your Honor held sentencing on all conditions in abeyance. Mr. Bowman's conditions of supervised release were modified as follows:
If he is not employed full time, Mr. Bowman shall complete 30 hours of community service within a period of 90 days at a rate of at least 10 hours every month. The community service hours must be completed at a program approved in advance by the Probation Office. He must provide written verification of completed community service hours to the probation officer.
Since appearing before the Court, Mr. Bowman has completed an approximate total of 14 hours community service with CT Harm Reduction, as well as Downtown Evening Soup Kitchen in New Haven, CT.
Mr. Bowman continues to apply and interview for traditional, full-time employment, but has been unsuccessful to date. To his credit, Mr. Bowman attended the Project M.O.R.E. Career and Resources Fair on April 19, 2024, as well as an intake assessment with the State of Connecticut Bureau of Rehabilitation Services (BRS) on April 25, 2024.
