allowed to enter a drug rehabilitation program.  The Office of Probation petitioned the
Court on Defendant’s behalf that he be allowed to attend an in-patient treatment facility,
and the Court ordered that Defendant enroll in and complete such treatment program.
Officer Semper testified stated that on June 23, 2008, his office received a discharge
summary from the program in which Defendant was enrolled in Atlanta, Georgia.
According to Officer Semper, the facility discharged Defendant, prior to his completion of
the full program, because of his violation of program rules and requirements, including,
testing positive for drugs.
Based upon the foregoing, the Court finds that Defendant has violated a condition
of his release and that probable cause exists to revoke Defendant’s release.
