Court keeps Isaiah Gibson on probation with added treatment and monitoring requirements

The 187th District Court found that Isaiah Caleb Gibson committed a violation of his community-supervision conditions and, under a negotiated resolution, amended his supervision to include intensive outpatient treatment and heightened monitoring.

Judge Stephanie Boyd found violation of condition No. 2 true and accepted a proposed agreement from the state, defense and probation to deny revocation in exchange for stricter conditions: intensive outpatient treatment, assignment to an intensive-supervision (ISP) high-risk caseload, weekly UAs initially and then reduced testing if clean, UA hotline participation, field visits and job-search requirements.

Gibson told the court he had housing problems and had not sought parental help when he missed testing. The judge gave Gibson two choices: a two-year prison sentence or the court-approved supervision package; Gibson chose to accept the amended conditions. Probation detailed a schedule of weekly visits for three months, with testing frequency to be reduced if negative results persist; a positive UA would prompt a motion to revoke.

The court ordered employment within 30 days of release or demonstrated daily job-search efforts, prohibited employment as a home-health provider or with minors, and placed Gibson on ISP high-risk caseload. The judge also instructed probation to provide a list of employers and to require evidence of five job applications per day if employment is not secured.

The judge emphasized practical supports—IDs and appointments—and urged Gibson to demonstrate consistent effort to comply with the new conditions. Probation will continue weekly contact initially and report back if problems arise.
