Parole panel keeps Roger Natiel on supervision with enhanced reporting and location ban
Summary
The panel declined to revoke parole and instead continued Roger Natiel on supervision with conditions: enhanced in-person reporting twice monthly for six months, a ban from the Walgreens location referenced in police reports, and an approved address and employment plan supported by an employer and public-defender services.
A Louisiana Committee on Parole panel decided not to revoke Roger Natiel’s supervision, despite evidence placing his phone and vehicle near a Walgreens served by police reports. The district attorney’s office provided investigative material, but the DA did not pursue charges.
Natiel told the panel he was living and working in the area. Public defenders said surveillance and witness identification did not link Natiel to the alleged store incident; a social-work intern and the employer provided a release plan that included housing at 3738 Paris Avenue and guaranteed work and transitional support.
The panel required enhanced reporting — in-person check-ins twice a month for the first six months, then monthly reporting — banned Natiel from the specified Walgreens, and directed that he maintain the approved Paris Avenue address and keep regular contact with his parole officer. The panel recorded that these steps addressed confusion about addresses and reporting and provided supports to reduce recidivism risk.
