Parole revoked for man identified in hearing as —Mister Cortez— after arrest-affidavit evidence
Summary
A parole panel revoked the parole of a man the board referred to as 'Mister Cortez' after reviewing an arrest affidavit that described a physical altercation, an injured adult and an eight-year-old child present during the incident.
The Committee on Parole revoked the parole of a man the panel referred to in open session as "Mister Cortez" after reviewing an arrest affidavit that alleged physical injury to an adult and the presence of a child during the incident.
Facility staff and witnesses discussed the circumstances of the arrest at a hearing held in the boardroom. The affidavit described officers observing the adult crying with a swollen left side of her face and referenced an eight-year-old child present during the event. The alleged victim told the panel she has medical conditions (including Graves disease) and disputed that the mark on her face was a fresh injury, but the panel expressed concern about the affidavit's observations.
A board member summarized: “My vote today is gonna be to, revoke mister Cortez. I don't I think the officers were pretty just follow what they wrote up.” Another panelist agreed, citing the law-enforcement arrest affidavit as the central evidentiary basis. The panel voted unanimously to revoke parole and recorded the decision in open session.
The board noted the arrest paperwork and the officer's observations as the basis for its decision. The panel instructed facility staff to process the revocation and return the offender to custody.
