Parole revoked for Ricardo Flores after parole-supervision violations, committee says

The Committee on Parole voted to revoke parole for Ricardo Flores, DOC 459994, at a hearing March 12, 2025, after supervision officers presented evidence Flores violated conditions of release.

Probation/parole staff told the committee Flores had failed to report consistently, missed required appointments and fallen behind on supervision fees. Flores acknowledged mistakes and said he traveled to Texas to assist his ailing mother and that scheduling and financial hardship contributed to missed reporting. “I took responsibility to turn myself in and to handle the situation,” Flores told the committee.

Why it matters: The committee’s revocation restores custody and requires Flores to wait for instructions about when he may reapply for parole. The decision underlines supervision conditions — reporting, fee payments and completion of mandated programming — as enforceable terms of release.

What the committee heard: Parole officers described multiple missed reporting deadlines and a history of absconding tied to prior cases; Flores said he communicated with agents, received a temporary pass to travel for his mother’s medical care, and ultimately returned and surrendered. Officers said he nonetheless remained out of compliance and recommended revocation. One supervisor noted the pattern of being hard to locate and the practical difficulty of officers attempting to monitor his situation.

Decision and next steps: The committee revoked Flores’ parole. Members said Flores will be provided information on when he can reapply for parole and what program or compliance steps are required before a new application will be considered.
