Judge denies bond for Timothy R. Hossein after community‑corrections violation hearing

Judge David D. Wolfe denied a request for bond from Timothy Randall Hossein after a hearing on an alleged violation of community corrections that the state says stems from Hossein’s failure to complete court‑ordered long‑term treatment.

The state presented testimony from Officer Steven Brown of Mid Cumberland Community Corrections that Hossein was court‑ordered to complete a long‑term program called Synergy and was later discharged from Synergy and multiple Hope Center locations for disciplinary reasons. Officer Brown testified Hossein did not complete the treatment program and that most post‑discharge contact had been by phone rather than in‑person reporting.

Hossein told the court he had repeatedly turned himself in when required, had family ties to White Bluff and planned to work for a relative’s HVAC company if released. Defense counsel argued Hossein had not been accused of new criminal offenses and had a record of showing up for court, and asked the court to set a reasonable bond so Hossein could house and support his young daughter. Hossein also told the court his daughter and fiancée faced an eviction.

After hearing the evidence, the judge cited the nature of the underlying conviction—multiple counts of aggravated burglary for which Hossein had been sentenced to community corrections—and the failure to complete the court‑ordered treatment as reasons to deny bond. "The motion for bond is respectfully denied," the judge announced. Hossein will be held for a violation hearing scheduled for January 27.

The court’s ruling distinguishes violations of community corrections from ordinary pretrial custody: a community‑corrections sentence is a suspended Department of Corrections sentence served in the community, and completion of specified treatment was an express condition of Hossein’s sentence. The court left open the violation hearing process and directed that Hossein appear for the January 27 proceeding.
