May 28, 2019, May 30, 2019, and June 5, 2019. He has since submitted
samples on June 12, 2019, June 21, 2019, July 10, 2019, July 16, 2019,
July 18, 2019, July 30, 2019, and August 20, 2019. These samples have
also tested positive for methamphetamine. A sample was last collected on
August 23, 2019, and is pending results. Since the commencement of the
term of supervised release on May 3, 2019, he has only submitted one
negative sample on May 7, 2019.
2 "You shall submit to substance abuse testing to determine if you have
used a prohibited substance or to determine compliance with substance
abuse treatment. Testing may include no more than 8 drug tests per
month. You shall not attempt to obstruct or tamper with the testing
methods."
As previously reported to the Court, the offender failed to report for
urinalysis testing on May 17, 2019, June 14, 2019, and June 20, 2019. He
has since failed to report for testing on July 31, 2019, and August 13,
2019.
3 "You shall participate in a substance abuse or alcohol treatment
program approved by the probation officer and abide by the rules and
regulations of that program. The probation officer shall supervise your
participation in the program (provider, location, modality, duration,
intensity, etc.). The court authorizes the release of the presentence
report and available evaluations to the treatment provider, as approve
by the probation officer"
Mr. McDougall failed to report for individual substance abuse counseling
sessions at Take Bake [sic] Control, LLC, on July 19, 2019, July 24, 2019,
July 29, 2019, July 31, 2019, August 14, 2019, and August 16, 2019. Also,
as previously reported to the Court, he failed to report on June 25, 2019.
4 "You shall report to the probation officer in a manner and frequency
directed by the court or probation officer."
As previously reported to the Court, the offender failed to report to the
probation office as directed on June 4, 2019. He has further missed
appointments with the probation officer on July 16, 2019, July 23, 2019,
and August 15, 2019.
5 "You shall notify the probation officer within 72 hours of being
arrested, charged, or questioned by a law enforcement officer."
As previously reported to the Court, a routine criminal record check was
conducted and revealed Mr. McDougall received an infraction/citation in
Marion County, Indiana, on May 14, 2019, under cause number 49G13-1905-IF-023319
for Driving While Suspended. He did not disclose this
information to the probation officer as required.
6 "You shall participate in a program of treatment for sexual disorders,
including periodic polygraph examinations, as directed by the
probation officer. The treatment provider should determine the type
and timing of such polygraph examinations. The court authorizes the
release of the presentence report and available psychological
evaluations to the treatment provider, as approved by the probation
officer."
Upon commencing his second term of supervised release, the offender was
referred to the Indianapolis Counseling Center for psychosexual treatment.
However, he was not admitted into the program as a result of him having
an outstanding balance with the provider. He was instructed by the
probation officer to make attempts to make regular payments toward this
debt. To date, he has made no payments, and therefore, he has not resumed
treatment.
4. The Court finds that:
(a) The highest grade of violation is a Grade B violation.
(b) Defendant's criminal history category is II.
(c) The range of imprisonment applicable upon revocation of supervised release, therefore, is 6 to 12 months' imprisonment.
5. The parties jointly recommended a sentence of twelve (12) months with no supervised release to follow. Defendant requested placement at FMC Lexington, Kentucky.
The Magistrate Judge, having considered the factors in 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a), and as more fully set forth on the record, finds that the Defendant violated the conditions set forth in the Petition, and Recommends that Defendant's supervised release be revoked, and that Defendant should be sentenced to the custody of the Attorney General or his designee for a period of twelve (12) months with no supervised release to follow. The Defendant is to be taken into custody immediately pending the District Judge's action on this Report and Recommendation. The Magistrate Judge further recommendations that the District Judge recommend placement of Defendant at FMC Lexington, Kentucky.
The parties are hereby notified that the District Judge may reconsider any matter assigned to a Magistrate Judge. The parties have fourteen days after being served a copy of this Report and Recommendation to serve and file written objections with the District Judge.
