PETITION FOR WARRANT OR SUMMONS FOR OFFENDER UNDER SUPERVISION
Honorable Mary K. Dimke, U.S. District Judge
PETITIONING THE COURT
To issue a warrant.
On December 20, 2023, Mr. Martinez was sentenced to time served and was to be released directly to inpatient treatment. Mr. Martinez has not reviewed his judgment and sentence with the undersigned officer.
The probation officer believes that the offender has violated the following condition(s) of supervision:
Violation Number Nature of Noncompliance
1 Standard Condition #1 : You must report to the probation office in the federal district where you are authorized to reside within 72 hours of your release from imprisonment, unless the probation officer instructs you to report to a different probation office or within a different time frame.
Supporting Evidence : John Paul Martinez allegedly violated the terms of his supervised release by failing to report to the probation office, on or about December 21, 2023, or since.
On December 20, 2023, Mr. Martinez appeared for sentencing. He was sentenced to time served with a December 21, 2023, release date. He was to release at 1:00 p.m. to the staff of American Behavioral Health Systems (ABHS), for the purposes of entering inpatient treatment.
On December 21, 2023, staff of ABHS attempted to pick Mr. Martinez up from the Spokane County Jail (SCJ).
On December 22, 2023, the undersigned officer contacted ABHS staff and was advised that the SCJ would not release Mr. Martinez to them as he had a hold in place and no release paperwork saying they were to release Mr. Martinez to ABHS. The undersigned then contacted the SCJ and confirmed that at the time ABHS attempted to pick up Mr. Martinez they were unable to release him. Mr. Martinez was ultimately released on December 21, 2023.
Mr. Martinez has not made any attempts to contact with the probation office. His whereabouts are currently unknown.
The U.S. Probation Office respectfully recommends the Court issue a warrant requiring the offender to appear to answer to the allegations contained in this petition.
I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct.
