CAUSE
A urine specimen/sweat patch submitted by Lowson on March 28, 2012, returned positive for the presence of marijuana. Additionally, the probation officer observed Lowson intoxicated on a combination of sleep, pain, and anxiety medications, thus raising suspicion that the offender may be abusing prescription medications. Lowson was referred to Phase I of a random drug testing program pending placement into a Residential Reentry Center, where he will engage in substance abuse treatment.
