Judge orders inpatient treatment for Maria Leticia Herrera, denies immediate adjudication
Summary
The court denied adjudication and ordered inpatient treatment for Maria Leticia Herrera after she pleaded true to a new trespass-related violation; she will remain in custody until transfer to a residential treatment facility or felony drug court.
The court denied the State’s motion to adjudicate and instead amended conditions to require inpatient treatment for Maria Leticia Herrera after she admitted a new offense of criminal trespass involving a church and acknowledged breaking a window. The judge ordered Herrera to remain in custody until transfer to a residential facility or consideration by felony drug court.
Herrera appeared on a motion to enter adjudication of guilt and revoke community supervision; she admitted violation of condition number 1 by entering Church of the Holy Spirit without permission and breaking a window. The State proposed treatment and supervision recommendations and asked the court to consider inpatient options. Probation recommended outpatient treatment but the judge determined inpatient care was required given the circumstances and risk.
The court amended conditions to include no contact with the Church of the Holy Spirit (address provided in court), restitution to the church if owed, and placement for inpatient treatment or felony drug court; Herrera was ordered to remain in custody pending transfer. The court instructed probation to pursue a felony drug court referral and confirmed the misdemeanor related to the incident would be handled in county court.
