Parole panel revokes several paroles, grants conditional release in treatment-linked case
Summary
At its June 25 meeting the Louisiana Committee on Parole revoked multiple paroles for noncompliance and criminal activity, continued several cases pending court resolution, and granted one early parole conditioned on in-prison substance-abuse treatment and post-release counseling.
The Louisiana Committee on Parole met June 25 in Baton Rouge and by the end of the morning had revoked several paroles, continued other matters pending court action and granted at least one conditional early release tied to substance-abuse treatment.
Among the formal actions, the panel revoked the parole of Roosevelt Allen (DOC #114371) after Allen pleaded or admitted to a string of supervision violations including failure to report, inaccurate residence information and lack of employment verification. The panel’s decision followed Allen’s account that he was released from Angola without resources and struggled with homelessness and serious health problems; panel members voted to revoke based on noncompliance.
The panel also revoked the parole of Rory Kevin Gates (DOC #285516), who denied some allegations but faced multiple arrests from 2025. Board members noted outstanding criminal charges and voted to revoke while asking DOC to consider intensive substance-abuse treatment where appropriate.
At the Riverbend Detention Center the panel voted to revoke the parole of a person identified in the record as Mr. Scott (DOC #739521), citing law-enforcement evidence and a history of positive drug screens in supervision notes.
Not every hearing led to revocation. Clemon Lanoux (West Baton Rouge) was returned to supervision with a no-contact order and a monthly community-service speaking requirement after panel members concluded the most serious out-of-parish charge had been nolle prossed and that the record did not support revocation. Similarly, the panel returned Terryon Dandridge (Orleans) to supervision rather than revoking parole, but required enrollment in a domestic-violence prevention program and ordered no contact with the complainant.
The board continued several revocation reviews pending criminal-court outcomes: Deborah Ann Hughes (Iberia Parish), whose case involves a pending alleged failure to register as a sex offender, and Jarmond Johnson (Vermilion Parish), whose matter involves a firearm-related warrant. Panelists said they would await court adjudication before making a parole decision in those cases.
A notable grant of conditional parole occurred in Concordia Parish for Caitlyn Snyder (DOC #796075). Snyder and family members urged the panel to allow early release on the grounds family support would enable treatment; the board conditioned the grant on intensive in-prison substance-abuse treatment prior to release and required post-release grief and trauma counseling and regular AA attendance.
Decisions reflected a mix of public-safety concern and individualized assessments of treatment needs and available prosecutorial outcomes. Several panelists emphasized treatment referrals when they returned individuals to supervision, and they frequently cited pending court proceedings as reasons to continue revocation reviews rather than impose immediate revocation.
