Summary

Charles William Landrum’s parole was revoked after the panel reviewed multiple prior DWI convictions, a recent DWI-related arrest while allegedly still on parole, and concluded he posed a public-safety risk if released.

The Committee on Parole revoked Charles William Landrum’s (DOC 247262) parole Jan. 15 after reviewing his record of repeated DWIs and a recent Texas conviction that the panel said violated condition 4 (stay out of trouble).

Landrum told the panel he believed his parole had ended in January 2024 and described the 2025 episode as a minor, single-beer incident while pulling into his driveway; he also said prior program participation (Steve Hall program) had not been credited in his records. Panel members reviewed prior DWI convictions and concluded Landrum’s history of reoffending while on supervision posed a continuing danger. The panel’s vote to revoke was unanimous.

Board members urged Landrum to pursue programming and obtain an up-to-date master prison record; they noted the revocation was based on repeated criminal behavior and concern over public safety.
