In a recent court hearing, a defendant who had previously pleaded guilty to attempted unlawful possession of a weapon faced further legal consequences after violating probation. Initially sentenced to ten years of split confinement, the defendant's situation worsened when he admitted guilt to two additional charges involving the possession of methamphetamine and gabapentin with intent to sell.

The trial court, adhering to the Dagnon standard, conducted a thorough review of the defendant's probation violations before imposing a new sentence. The court highlighted the defendant's ongoing pattern of misconduct, noting his failure to reform despite previous opportunities.

The defendant's criminal history is extensive, featuring six felonies, including violent offenses, and numerous misdemeanors. While in custody, he accumulated 70 disciplinary infractions, which included serious violations such as possessing deadly weapons, sexual misconduct, and assaults. The court's findings indicate a high risk for future violence, underscoring the challenges of rehabilitation in this case.
