The court considered a state motion to revoke community supervision for Sonia Haga that stemmed from her alleged refusal to enter residential treatment. Prosecutors and defense counsel reported that Starlight Recovery Center had offered a placement starting July 25; in light of the anticipated immediate inpatient admission, the state withdrew the motion to revoke and the court agreed. Nut graf: Court ordered that Haga remain on GPS while admitted to Starlight Recovery Center, sign releases so probation may receive treatment-status updates, and set a 45-day follow-up so probation, the state and defense can report on treatment progress and next steps. The court noted that inpatient treatment at Starlight would likely be 30 to 45 days; the judge instructed that if Haga leaves the facility without permission, the state may re-file a motion to revoke. Probation confirmed the planned admission date and agreed to provide a report to the court at the 45-day mark. The hearing record reflects agreement from the state and probation that inpatient treatment was the preferred route to address the underlying issues. Ending: The court entered an order withdrawing the motion to revoke conditioned on admission to Starlight Recovery Center, continued GPS monitoring, and scheduled a case update for Sept. 11 (approximately 50 days) to confirm placement and progress.
