Parole revoked for Glenn Alvarez after multiple domestic disturbance allegations and video evidence
Summary
The Committee on Parole voted to revoke the parole of Glenn Alvarez after hearing video evidence showing confrontations at two locations and reports that two separate victims alleged assault or threats; the DA urged revocation citing violent history.
The Committee on Parole revoked the parole of Glenn Alvarez (DOC 705193) following testimony and review of video evidence that investigators said showed Alvarez in confrontations at multiple locations, including a market and a fast-food restaurant.
The board’s assigned reviewer described two incidents documented in police reports and video: an alleged violation of a protective order at a residence and a separate incident at a Popeye’s restaurant in which a complaining witness said Alvarez threatened her and threw red beans. The reviewer said the preliminary hearing found probable cause and that investigators introduced body-camera and surveillance video.
Alvarez maintained he did not intend to harm anyone and said he regretted his actions. “I had no intentions on hurting anyone,” he told the panel, and he said the events were arguments that escalated. His attorney, Tessa Silverman, said the protective-order allegation was refused by the DA before trial and that the assault charge was dismissed on the morning of trial; she argued the conduct did not amount to a crime and urged treatment and supervision rather than revocation.
Assistant District Attorney Randall Meyer opposed parole, citing Alvarez’s record for firearm-related offenses and arguing the new allegations — and video evidence — showed the former pattern of violence raised a significant risk. The board’s first voting member said probable cause had been found at a preliminary hearing and pointed to surveillance footage and multiple complaint statements in the record.
After discussion the board voted to revoke parole. The chair noted two separate victims had made statements and that the available video and probable cause findings compelled a revocation vote under the committee’s standard. The committee directed Department of Corrections staff to process the revocation and noted the revocation would remain subject to standard DOC procedures for revoked parolees.
