Baton Rouge parole board revokes Keith Daniels' parole for multiple rule violations

On April 1, 2025, the Louisiana Board of Pardons and Parole convened in Baton Rouge to address the revocation hearing of Keith Daniels from Madison Parish. The meeting, led by Chairman Steve Prater, focused on multiple alleged violations of Daniels' parole conditions.

During the hearing, Daniels faced accusations of violating four specific rules, including involvement in criminal activities such as arson, stalking, and extortion. He denied these allegations, asserting he had not been charged with any related crimes. The board also reviewed a firearms violation, where Daniels was accused of possessing a firearm found at his residence while he was incarcerated. He maintained his innocence, claiming the firearm belonged to the homeowner and was purchased after his arrest.

Another point of contention was Daniels' refusal to provide access to his phone for a parole officer, which he justified by stating it was his girlfriend's phone and contained private information. Additionally, he admitted to owing $2,760 in parole fees but expressed a belief that he could pay the total amount at once at the end of his parole term.

After deliberation, the board members unanimously voted to revoke Daniels' parole, citing sufficient evidence of the infractions. The decision was communicated to Daniels, who is set to remain incarcerated until his scheduled release in December 2025, regardless of the outcome of this hearing. The meeting concluded with the board's determination that Daniels had violated the terms of his parole, leading to the revocation effective immediately.
