The Louisiana Committee on Parole revoked the parole of Daniel McNeal following a hearing held July 10, 2025, at Saint Mary Law Enforcement Center. Committee Chair Steve Prater said the board had reviewed violations and testimony and revoked McNeal’s parole.
The committee’s decision centers on alleged failures to maintain contact and report changes of address, a criminal arrest, and unpaid supervision fees. The chair told McNeal the board had reviewed the agent’s notes and other evidence before voting.
McNeal told the panel he had been homeless after release, that his mother briefly housed him and then took him to Morgan City where he sought work, and that he regularly contacted his parole officer by phone and FaceTime. He acknowledged past parole revocations and said he had been trying to find housing and employment.
Committee members pressed McNeal about a December 2023 release address discrepancy and a January 24, 2025 arrest in Morgan City on resisting arrest and related domestic matters; McNeal said he pleaded guilty to resisting arrest and denied the domestic-violence allegation. The board also noted agents were unable to contact him at his reported residences and that he owed $1,008 in supervisory fees and had made no payments since release.
After McNeal spoke, the three committee members voted. Steve Prater cast the first vote, citing the multiple rule violations; the other members also voted the same way. Prater announced, “You hereby revoke,” and concluded the hearing.
The revocation will return McNeal to custody; the board’s comment indicated it considered jail time necessary to underscore the obligations of supervised release.
