Parole revoked for Jonathan Wayne Perry after officersreport and unpaid fees
Summary
The Committee on Parole revoked Jonathan Wayne Perryparole at a revocation hearing at Grant Parish Detention Center, citing an arrest for domestic abuse (later dismissed) and unpaid supervision fees; board members said the officerreport and arrears supported revocation.
The Committee on Parole revoked the parole of Jonathan Wayne Perry at a revocation hearing held at Grant Parish Detention Center on Oct. 12, 2025. Pete Freeman, acting chair of the parole board, read charges including an arrest for domestic abuse that the Jefferson Parish District Attorney later dismissed, and noted Perry was $432 in arrears on supervision fees.
The board said the officerreport, Perrys admitted drug plea and arrears justified revocation. "You did plead to the drug charge. And due to due to the officer's report, I think you're a danger to society. My vote is to revoke," Pete Freeman, acting chair, said as he cast the first vote to revoke. Both Mr. Tillis and Miss Stapleton joined Freeman in voting to revoke Perrys parole.
Why it matters: The board treated the case as a parole-violation proceeding distinct from the underlying criminal disposition. Although the district attorney dismissed the domestic-abuse charge, the board cited the arrest report and Perrys admitted drug-related plea and unpaid supervision fees as grounds for revocation.
Key details: During the hearing, Perry said the domestic-abuse charge had been dismissed by a judge and answered "No, sir. That's why it's dismissed by a judge," when asked whether he had committed the alleged act. Board members noted his arrears ($432) and prior jail stays while explaining their votes. The panel voted unanimously to revoke; the board recorded the revocation and closed the hearing at Grant Parish.
Discussion versus action: Board members took testimony and asked Perry questions about the underlying incidents and his supervision fees (discussion). The formal action was a revocation vote (decision). There was no recorded direction to staff beyond the standard revocation outcome.
Whathappens next: The transcript records the boards vote to revoke and the closing of the hearing; it does not specify immediate housing placement or a new release date. Those details were not specified during the hearing.
Ending: The parole board closed the hearing at Grant Parish following the unanimous vote to revoke Perrys parole.
