Judge pauses Jarvis case to consider treatment placement and possible release for kidney-donation evaluation
Summary
Defense said defendant Danny/Dawson Jarvis had been terminated from specialty court and that family arranged inpatient treatment; counsel asked the court to consider release or transport to permit a potential kidney donation evaluation for Jarvis's father. Judge ordered referral and scheduled follow-up.
Defense counsel and family members told the court that Mr. Jarvis had been in Clinton County Specialty Court, violated the program, and subsequently served time. Counsel reported that the family arranged a six-month inpatient program at Spark Recovery and that Mr. Jarvis may be a kidney match for his father, who is awaiting transplant evaluation.
Counsel asked the court to consider timing or release to allow the necessary medical appointments for donor evaluation. The judge said he would not interfere with a legitimate donation process and asked counsel to provide scheduling and transport details; if the jail cannot accommodate transport or release, the judge said he would revisit the matter at the Jan. 8 hearing. The court ordered the matter taken under advisement, instructed counsel to coordinate with probation/parole and the Commonwealth about transport orders, and set a follow-up.
