Judge Boyd keeps Ricardo Ramirez Jr. on supervision but orders 60 days on SCRAM and evaluations
Summary
After Ramirez pleaded true to failing to comply with a portable alcohol monitoring device, the court denied the state's revocation motion and amended his conditions to include 60 days on a SCRAM device, continuation of portable alcohol monitoring (PAM), a TAP evaluation and following TAP recommendations.
Judge Stephanie Boyd heard the state's motion to revoke community supervision for Ricardo Ramirez Jr., who pleaded true to failing to comply with a portable alcohol monitoring device. The court considered the probation recommendation and arguments from both sides before issuing a modified supervision order.
The court denied the state's motion to revoke, saying it would "amend the conditions to include the following" and listed the new requirements, including 60 days on a SCRAM device and continuation of PAM. The judge ordered a TAP (treatment assessment and placement) evaluation and required Ramirez to follow the TAP recommendations.
Ramirez told the court his missed test windows were often due to early work hours and transit constraints; the court noted his documented anxiety issues and emphasized that the conditions are a contract with the court. Probation and both sides agreed to the recommended plan; the court reiterated that further violations could lead to prosecution and more restrictive sanctions.
The new conditions were entered on the record and probation was tasked with overseeing the evaluations and monitoring compliance.
