Judge imposes alcohol-testing and weekly monitoring for Genevieve Lopez
Summary
In 187th District Court proceedings, the judge ordered Genevieve Lopez to submit to weekly alcohol testing and intensified supervision after allegations of drinking while on probation for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
Judge Stephanie Boyd ordered tighter supervision Tuesday for Genevieve Lopez, who is on probation after a conviction for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. The court told Lopez she was not allowed to drink while on probation and placed her on weekly testing and intensified supervision for 90 days, with follow-up by probation.
The judge said allegations that Lopez had been drinking while on probation could lead to a motion to revoke if verified. Probation will place Lopez in a breakout room to confer with officers and set field visits at least once a month; probation and the court will monitor test results and compliance with conditions.
The court advised Lopez that a positive alcohol test would likely trigger a motion to revoke and potential revocation of probation. Lopez told the court she did not currently need treatment; the judge noted that if she later requested assistance, the court would seek to secure help. Probation was instructed to schedule weekly testing and ISP supervision for 90 days and to conduct a probation intake and monthly field visits.
The judge reserved further sanctioning pending any positive tests or failures to report; the court set a follow-up process to check compliance.
The order also recorded the court’s admonition that the statutory range of punishment for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon remains 2 to 20 years if probation is revoked.
