Parole not revoked for Troy Hobart; panel orders domestic-violence class and increased tests
Summary
The Committee on Parole found sufficient reason to keep Troy Hobart on supervision despite a police report with photographs; the board required completion of the DOC’s Duluth domestic-abuse program, increased drug screening and no contact with the victim.
At the East Baton Rouge remote hearing, Troy Hobart denied injuring the alleged victim and said the charges were dismissed. The state record included photographs and a protective order, but a family member and Hobart’s sister told the panel the charges had been dismissed and the family pledged supervision and support.
Board member Jeri LeDoux said she would vote not to revoke but required Hobart to complete the DOC Duluth domestic-abuse program, submit to increased drug screening and maintain no contact with the victim. Chair Carolyn Stapleton and the other board members concurred. The panel’s decision kept Hobart in the community under enhanced conditions rather than returning him to custody.
Why it matters: the board balanced photographic evidence and a protective order against dismissal of charges and family assurances; it imposed programmatic treatment and monitoring as conditions for supervision.
