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 6/8/2021.
On December 15, 2020, a supervision intake was completed by a United States probation officer. The judgment in this matter was reviewed with the defendant and she signed a copy of her judgment acknowledging an understanding of the condition imposed by the court.
The probation officer believes that the offender has violated the following condition(s) of supervision:
| Violation Number | Nature of Noncompliance |
| 2 | Standard Condition # 3 : You must not knowingly leave the federal judicial district where you are authorized to reside without first getting permission from the court or probation officer. |
| Supporting Evidence : It is alleged that Amanda Dahlen violated the terms of her supervised release by leaving the Eastern District of Washington without prior approval, on or about July 24 and August 1, 2022. | |
| On July 24, 2022, Idaho Probation and Parole and the Benewah County Sheriff's Office conducted a probation check at a residence in Plummer, Idaho. Amanda Dahlen was located |
| at the residence in question, however, she provided a false name. She then left the area prior to the officers positively identifying her. | |
| On August 1, 2022, officers returned to the residence in Plummer, Idaho, in an effort to locate Ms. Dahlen. Another female was contacted at the residence, who was not cooperative with the officers. The officers eventually made entry into the residence and Ms. Dahlen was located hiding under a mattress | |
| Ms. Dahlen did not have permission to be in the District of Idaho. | |
| Ms. Dahlen was arrested and booked into the Benewah County Jail on her outstanding U.S. Marshals warrant. | |
| Supporting Evidence : | It is alleged that Amanda Dahlen violated the terms of her supervised release by associating with individuals engaged in criminal activity, on or about July 24 and August 1, 2022. |
| On July 24, 2022, Idaho Probation and Parole and the Benewah County Sheriff's Office conducted a probation check at a residence in Plummer, Idaho. Amanda Dahlen was located at the residence in question, however, she had provided a false name. She then left the area prior to the officers positively identifying her. | |
| Within the residence where Ms. Dahlen was located, an indivdual with a felony warrant who is under supervision with Idaho Probation and Parole was located. The individual was arrested on his warrant as well as new charges stemming from this contact. Officers located drug paraphernalia, marijuana, cocaine, and methamphetamine. The officers also located another individual at the residence, known to be Ms. Dahlen's long time boyfriend. Her boyfriend is facing charges surrounding possession ofmethamphetamine, possession of drug paraphernalia, and possession of marijuana. | |
| On August 1, 2022, officers returned to the residence in Plummer, Idaho, in an effort to locate Ms. Dahlen. Another female was contacted at the residence, who was not cooperative with the officers. The officers eventually made entry into the residence and Ms. Dahlen was located hiding under a mattress. Ms. Dahlen's boyfriend was again located on the property and lied about Ms. Dahlen's whereabouts. He was therefore arrested for providing false information and harboring a known fugitive. | |
| Ms. Dahlen was arrested and booked into the Benewah County Jail on her outstanding U.S. Marshals warrant. |
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.
