Parole revoked for Donald Johnson Jr. after admitting multiple reporting and travel violations
Summary
Donald Johnson Jr.'s parole was revoked after he admitted failing to report to his officer for multiple months, traveling out of state without permission and having arrears; the board recorded unanimous concurrence to revoke.
The Committee on Parole revoked the parole of Donald Johnson Jr. (DLC 727870) after a hearing in which he admitted failing to report for several months, traveling to Texas without permission and facing arrears of $884 in supervision fees.
The board framed the decision as necessary because the parolee admitted multiple supervision violations and had outstanding financial arrears that contributed to the revocation decision.
At the hearing, Sergeant Marsh confirmed no disciplinary incidents while Johnson was in custody. The board read several violations into the record: failure to report for August through February (Johnson pleaded guilty), leaving Louisiana without permission (evidenced by an arrest in Collin County, Texas, on Sept. 3, 2024), a separate arrest in Texas for violation of a protective order, and supervision arrears totaling $884 (Johnson acknowledged arrears). Johnson told the panel he had traveled to Texas to try to get a job and said he believed a protective order had ended the previous November. The board cautioned that, while relationship status may continue, an active protective order would still create violations in the future.
Panel members voted to revoke Johnson’s parole; the chair admonished Johnson to resolve any remaining protective-order issues before release. Panel members recorded concurrence with the revocation decision.
