Summary
The court set bonds at $200,000 in two probation-violation matters involving Mister Adams and ordered GPS monitoring and house arrest as bond conditions if posted; judge cited prior deadly-conduct matters and jail incident reports in explaining strict conditions.
During the Jan. 29 docket in the 252nd District Court, the court addressed motions related to alleged probation violations for Mister Adams in cause numbers 23 DCCR0492 and 0493. The state alleged new offenses including eluding police and unlawful carrying of a weapon and referenced multiple jail incident reports.
Defense counsel (Mister Burbank) argued for bond consideration, describing the defendant's cooperation and circumstances. The judge reviewed the file, emphasized that the defendant had prior deadly-conduct adjudications and that two people had been shot in earlier incidents for which he received deferred probation, and expressed concern about the presence of three firearms in a vehicle on the new allegation.
The judge granted the motions to set bond and fixed bonds at $200,000 in each case. Conditions of bond, if posted, include wearing a GPS monitoring device and remaining on house arrest except for court appearances or meetings with counsel. The judge warned: “If you violate your probation, I can give you the rest of your life in prison. Minimum 5 years in prison up to 99 years or the rest of your life.”
The court reset the matters and instructed defense counsel to coordinate logistics with the bailiff and probation to implement monitoring if the defendant posts bond.
