ATTACHMENT On December 28, 2006, the conditions of supervised release were read and explained to the defendant. On that date he acknowledged in writing that the conditions had been read to him, that he fully understood the conditions, and that he was provided with a copy of them. The term of supervised release commenced on December 29, 2006. On September 27, 2007, the defendant and his attorney executed a form entitled "Waiver of Hearing to Modify Conditions of Probation/Supervised Release to Extend Term of Supervision" which waives the right to a hearing and agrees to the proposed modification of the conditions of supervised release. AUSA Linda A. McMahan has been consulted and has no objection to the proposed modifications. The defendant's term of supervised release commenced on December 29, 2006. Due to the defendant's and his wife's history of domestic violence, the defendant was referred to Confidential Health Consultants and directed to participate in family counseling in conjunction with substance abuse counseling. On June 2, 2007, the couple was involved in a domestic argument which resulted in both parties sustaining minor injuries. The defendant was arrested on June 4, 2007, and has been charged in El Paso County Court Docket No. 2007-M-4327 with Third Degree Assault and Harassment and is on bond. His wife was arrested on June 6, 2007, and charged in El Paso County Court Docket No. 2007-M-4359 with Third Degree Assault and is on bond. On July 31, 2007, charges against the defendant's wife were dismissed. On August 5, 2007, the defendant and his wife, Kelly Witt Perry, were involved in a domestic argument that escalated to the defendant taking a Samari sword off the wall, and threatening to harm his wife and her 14 year old daughter. On August 9, 2007, the defendant was arrested and charged in El Paso County District Court Docket No. 2007-CR-3666 with Extortion (Class 4 Felony); Felony Menacing (Class 5 Felony); Obstruction of Telephone Services (Class 1 Misdemeanor); Child Abuse - No Injury (Class 2 Misdemeanor); Violation of Protection Order (Class 2 Misdemeanor), and Harassment (Class 3 Misdemeanor). At the time of both incidents, the defendant's wife reported that the defendant was under the influence of alcohol. On August 15, 2007, the defendant submitted a urine sample at Confidential Health Consultants, our federally contracted substance abuse program, that tested positive for the use of alcohol. In response to the defendant's actions, and due to the high potential of continued third party risk and the escalation of violence as outlined in the offense reports, I believe the defendant needs to be more closely monitored which can be accomplished by placement at a community corrections center. In addition, I am requesting a modification of conditions to include mental health counseling to address anger management. As noted above, on September 27, 2007, the defendant and his attorney agreed in writing to the proposed modifications of conditions of supervised release.
