NONCOMPLIANCE SUMMARY

Violation Number Nature of Noncompliance
1 On January 18th, 20th, and 21st, 2023, Simpson tested positive for suboxone at Kintock Residential Re-Entry Center, which was confirmed by laboratory testing. During the two-week period prior to these positive tests, Simpson was observed by Kintock staff and the U.S. Probation Officer to be under the influence of an unknown substance. However, he continued to test negative for any illicit substances. During one incident, a case manager described Simpson in the following manner, "resident's eyes were brick red, he was unable to stand upright, also he could not walk in a straight line." Another report indicated he was shaking uncontrollably and then fell asleep in the hallway. It is believed that he may have used a substance which is not detected by standard drug tests.
2 Simpson continues to miss scheduled mental health treatment sessions, despite being reminded to attend and having transportation arranged. He maintains that he is "tired" and does not wish to attend. However, the probation officer continues to arrange make-up sessions, which Simpson usually attends.
3 Simpson has received numerous incident reports for failing to contact Kintock staff, as required, when he is out on passes to attend Masjid or treatment. The probation office and Kintock staff continue to closely monitor his movements to encourage communication.
U.S. Probation Officer Action:
Simpson is due to complete his term at Kintock on February 9, 2023. It is the belief of the U.S. Probation Office that Simpson's non-compliance stems from his mental health, cognitive, and substance abuse issues. The probation officer has referred him to long-term residential substance abuse treatment where his substance abuse and mental health needs will be addressed. Simpson has agreed to participate in residential treatment. The probation officer will continue to advise of any additional non-compliance.
