Parole revoked for Jeremiah Preston after guilty plea to domestic battery

The Committee on Parole revoked Jeremiah Prestons parole at a hearing at the Orleans Justice Center on Oct. 12, 2025, after he pleaded guilty to a domestic-abuse battery charge that followed an August 2024 arrest.

Preston told the panel he had pleaded guilty after losing patience with extended court proceedings and said he had worked and been released before the charge led to custody. "I plead not guilty...Not guilty with a statement," he initially said; later, the transcript records he acknowledged pleading guilty to domestic abuse battery. The board found that plea incompatible with parole conditions and voted to revoke. "Today, I find you in violation of condition number 4 and, revoke him for all," the acting chair said as the panel recorded the revocation.

Why it matters: A guilty plea to a domestic battery offense formed the primary factual basis for the boards finding of a parole violation and revocation, and the board emphasized the need for no contact with the victim where a protective order may exist.

Key details: The panel noted a likely protective order and warned Preston against contact with the victim; members recorded unanimous concurrence to revoke. The hearing transcript does not list a new release or good-time date on the record.

Discussion versus action: Preston answered questions and provided a personal explanation (discussion); the board then voted to revoke parole based on the guilty plea (formal decision).

Ending: The board revoked Prestons parole and closed the hearing; the transcript records admonitions about no-contact requirements but does not specify next-step custody computations or dates.
