To incorporate the violation contained in this petition in future proceedings with the violations previously reported to the Court on 10/21/2022.
On October 8, 2021, this officer met with Mr. Ward at his residence after he released from serving his revocation sentence and reviewed the judgment and sentence, which outlined the conditions of his term of supervised release.
The probation officer believes that the offender has violated the following condition of supervision:
Violation Number
Nature of Noncompliance

Special Condition #6: 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: Mr. Ward is considered to be in violation of his supervised release conditions by consuming a controlled substance, methamphetamine, on or about October 24, 2022, and on or about November 4, 2022. On October 24, 2022, Mr. Ward reported to Merit Resource Services (Merit) for urinalysis (UA) testing. Mr. Ward admitted to the UA technician that he relapsed and consumed methamphetamine. Mr. Ward reviewed and signed a drug use admission form. The specimen was sent to Alere Toxicology Services (Alere) for confirmation testing.
On November 2, 2022, the results were received from Alere and confirmed the specimen was positive for methamphetamine. On November 4, 2022, Mr. Ward reported to Merit for UA testing. Mr. Ward admitted to the UA technician that he relapsed and consumed methamphetamine. Mr. Ward reviewed and signed a drug use admission form. The specimen was sent to Alere for confirmation testing. As of the date of this report, the results have not been received from Alere.
The U.S. Probation Office respectfully recommends the Court to incorporate the violation contained in this petition in future proceedings with the violations previously reported to the Court.
I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct.
