Violation Number
Nature of Noncompliance
1.
Failure to Refrain from Illegal Drug Use: The defendant tested positive for marijuana on October 22, 2024. The test was confirmed positive by Alere Toxicology Services on October 27, 2024.
U.S. Probation Officer Action: Mr. Grove is currently in drug treatment at Center for Behavioral Health, and this officer would like to afford him the opportunity to continue his treatment. According to his counselor with Center for Behavioral Health, Mr. Grove, is very engaging and open, however his "passion project" is so CBD focused that he's not making necessary steps to discontinue his use. He is so dead set on the benefits of it and doesn't really see any potential ramifications outside of legally.
The defendant will continue to be randomly drug tested and issued a written reprimand. Mr. Grove's will also be required to report once a month, for the next three months wherein this officer will review skills to reduce his risk of recidivism. Any further violations will be reported to the Court with an appropriate recommendation.
It is respectfully recommended that the violation be held in abeyance. The defendant has been advised that a subsequent revocation hearing may be scheduled as a result of the violation.
Respectfully Submitted.
