The Committee on Parole convened hearings at several Louisiana detention centers on Dec. 4, 2025, issuing a string of revocation decisions, one parole denial and one diversion to inpatient treatment.

Madam Chairman opened each case, read allegations and accepted pleas before individual members questioned respondents and voted on outcomes. Cases decided included revocations for Mr. Davis (Assumption Parish), Denarius Roy (Rapides), Raymond Sanders (Richland Parish), Joshua London (Riverbend), Mister Mouton (Lafayette), a denial of parole for Joshua Miller (Rayburn), and a treatment order for Portland Carter (St. Mary Parish) in lieu of revocation.

Why it matters: Parole revocations remove individuals from community supervision and return them to custody; diversion to treatment spares custody but requires program completion and supervision conditions. The panel cited evidence, admission or noncompliance in each case when setting outcomes.

Votes at a glance

- Mr. Davis (DOC 383545): Found guilty of violating condition 4 after presentation of a police report and body‑cam evidence. Committee vote: revoke (Madam Chairman vote to revoke; Mister Frager concurred).

- Miss Myers (DOC 784234): Alleged to have violated protective‑order proximity and use of illegal drugs; pleaded not guilty. The panel voted to reprimand and continue supervision, adding a condition to avoid the alleged victim’s block; members warned that photographic evidence of another complaint could prompt revocation.

- Denarius Roy (DOC 759859): Arrested during a traffic stop where officers found a firearm and drugs; Roy disputed some aspects but the panel voted to revoke parole, citing the arrest evidence and outstanding fees.

- Raymond Sanders (DOC 0759170): Pleaded not guilty to failure to report but the committee found he violated condition 1 (failure to report) and voted to revoke.

- Mister Mouton (moved to Lafayette): Admitted to throwing the first punch in an in‑custody fight; the committee voted unanimously to revoke parole.

- Joshua Miller (DOC 723292): A first‑felony offender serving a 20‑year sentence for indecent behavior with a juvenile, Miller described programming he completed in custody and had family support. After executive‑session testimony and noting opposition from the district attorney, sheriff’s office and attorney general, the committee voted to deny parole, citing insufficient time served and public‑safety concerns.

- Joshua London (DOC 747763): Pleaded guilty to multiple reporting failures, had inconsistent employment documentation and outstanding fees; the committee found violations of conditions 1, 2, 6 and 10 and voted to revoke parole.

- Portland Carter (DOC 541073): Pleaded guilty to failing to report and to drug use; the panel agreed, unanimously, to place him in an intensive inpatient drug‑treatment program in lieu of revocation, conditioned on completion and an approved residence and aftercare plan.

What members said

Madam Chairman: “Today, your parole has been revoked,” (announcing revocation decisions in multiple cases). Joshua Miller, describing his progress, told the panel: “I have taken *** offender treatment … I will be continuing to take AA/NA on the streets,” and his mother, Vicky Yanez, told the committee she was “here to support and help him out … I want the best for him.”

Details, clarifications and particulars

- Fees: Denarius Roy was asked about approximately $670 in outstanding fees; in a separate case the panel noted $189 owed under condition 10. (Fee totals were discussed on the record where applicable.)

- Evidence and charges: Mr. Davis’s file included an arrest on 09/18/2024 with multiple pending drug distribution counts; Miller’s file showed a parole eligibility date of 10/07/2022 but a full term to Feb. 2036 and opposition from law‑enforcement offices.

- Treatment in lieu of revocation: Carter was offered intensive inpatient treatment with the condition that he successfully complete the program and follow aftercare and approved residence requirements.

Next steps: The committee recorded its votes and directed staff to send revocation or denial notices and information about re‑parole or treatment steps where applicable. Several respondents were told they may apply for re‑parole at a later date according to standard procedures.

The Committee on Parole convened multiple hearings across detention centers on Dec. 4, 2025 and concluded its session after the listed decisions.
