Parole revoked after panel finds inmate used dating app accounts while under supervision
Summary
A Louisiana parole panel revoked an individual’s parole after finding he used two Grindr accounts while under supervision, concluding he violated condition 4; supervising agent presented search-warrant evidence and the parolee admitted the violation.
A Louisiana Committee on Parole panel revoked the parole of an individual who admitted using social-media accounts while under supervision, the panel announced during a revocation hearing on Feb. 10, 2026.
The panel heard testimony from Brandon Roy, the offender’s supervising agent, who said a contact notified law enforcement that the parolee had communicated through Grindr. Roy said investigators obtained a search warrant for the account and found two separate Grindr accounts, which formed the basis for two counts of unlawful use of social media tied to an 11/05/2025 arrest by the Jefferson Davis Parish Sheriff’s Office. At the preliminary hearing the parolee had admitted the violation; during the revocation hearing he again acknowledged being on social media but said he thought the platforms were Facebook or Instagram.
The parolee asked the panel to allow him to keep his residence and job, saying he had made a mistake and expressing remorse. The panel’s assigned member said the parolee “just didn’t follow the rules that you knew were a violation” and that admission of the violation was appreciated, but voted to revoke. Other panel members concurred, citing the parolee’s prior felony history and the expectation that he follow the terms of supervision.
The panel’s decision to revoke was announced as the conclusion of business at that facility; the record reflects the allegation, the agent’s search-warrant evidence on Grindr accounts and the parolee’s admission.
Next steps: the committee indicated the case is concluded at that facility; the transcript does not specify the offender’s immediate transfer or the length of any re-incarceration.
