To issue a summons.
On July 12, 2021, Mr. Slater's conditions of supervised release were reviewed by the probation officer and he signed said conditions acknowledging an understanding of his requirements.
The probation officer believes that the offender has violated the following condition(s) of supervision:
Violation Number Nature of Noncompliance
1 Special Condition #6: You must undergo a substance abuse evaluation and, if indicated by a licensed/certified treatment provider, enter into and successfully complete an approved substance abuse treatment program, which could include inpatient treatment and aftercare upon further order of the court. You must contribute to the cost of treatment according to your ability to pay. You must allow full reciprocal disclosure between the supervising officer and treatment provider.
Supporting Evidence: The offender is alleged to have violated special condition No. 6, by failing to attend scheduled treatment sessions at Pioneer Human Services (PHS) on February 25, March 10, 11, and 25, 2022. Further, on March 28, 2022, he was discharged from treatment.
The probation officer received email correspondence from PHS indicating the offender failed to report for scheduled substance abuse treatment sessions on February 25, March 10, 11, and 25, 2022.
On March 28, 2022, this officer received correspondence from PHS indicating Mr. Slater was discharged from PHS due to his lack of attendance.
2 Special Condition #7: You must abstain from the use of illegal controlled substances, and must submit to urinalysis and sweat patch testing, as directed by the supervising officer, but no more than 6 tests per month, in order to confirm continued abstinence from these substances.
Supporting Evidence: The offender is alleged to have violated special condition No. 7, by failing to report to PHS for urinalysis testing on March 9, 15, and 23, 2022.
The probation officer received email correspondence from PHS indicating Mr. Slater failed to report for urinalysis testing on March 9, 15, and 23, 2022.
3 Standard Condition # 2: After initially reporting to the probation office, you will receive instructions from the court or the probation officer about how and when to report to the probation officer, and you must report to the probation officer as instructed.
Supporting Evidence: The offender is alleged to have violated special condition No. 2, by failing to report for a scheduled appointment with the probation officer on March 21, 2022.
On March 16, 2022, the undersigned mailed a letter to the offender's last known address instructing him to report to the U.S. Probation Office on March 21, 2022. He failed to report as directed.
4 Special Condition #7: You must abstain from the use of illegal controlled substances, and must submit to urinalysis and sweat patch testing, as directed by the supervising officer, but no more than 6 tests per month, in order to confirm continued abstinence from these substances.
Supporting Evidence: The offender is alleged to have violated special condition No. 7, by ingesting controlled substances, methamphetamine, amphetamine, and fentanyl, on or about March 28, 2022.
On March 28, 2022, Mr. Slater submitted a urine specimen at the U.S. Probation Office that returned presumptive positive for methamphetamine, amphetamine, and fentanyl. At that time, he signed an admission form acknowledging use of said substances.
