CAUSE
Ms. Ransom was reprimanded for the continued failure to make mandatory monthly restitution
payments during the above-noted months. She was advised that each time she fails to make a
monthly restitution payment constitutes a separate violation of probation. The probation officer
warned Ms. Ransom the continued failure to make restitution payments may ultimately expose her
to adverse action by the Court. The defendant apologized and acknowledged she understood.
The defendant explained to the undersigned probation officer that due to financial constraints, she
was unable to pay her electric bill in April 2025. The following month, she was placed on a
monthly payment plan of $700.00. The payment plan allowed her to retain services and make up
for the month for which she was unable to pay. Ms. Ransom satisfied the pending balance after
making the final $700.00 payment in December 2025. The defendant stated that during the
aforementioned period of time, she was unable to make the mandatory monthly restitution
payments primarily due to the above-noted financial obstacle. She did admit that during that time
she remained employed as a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) at Hillcrest Healthcare Center in
Danville, West Virgina. However, she discontinued employment at Hillcrest on January 1, 2026,
and subsequently gave birth to her son on January 9, 2026. The defendant currently has no source
of income and is relying on the father of her newborn child to financially provide for her and her
children.
Ms. Ransom is not medically clear to return to work as an LPN due to the potential for
hemorrhaging as a result of a problematic pregnancy. She indicated that she returns for a follow-
up appointment with an obstetrician on February 13, 2026, and expects to return to work on
February 16, 2026. She reported she will commence employment as an LPN at Cedar Ridge Center
in Charleston, West Virginia, at the rate of $36.40 an hour, when medically cleared to return to
work.
Monies owed toward the pending restitution will continue to be collected by the U.S. Attorney’s
Office Treasury Offset Program to include the interception of tax refunds. It should be noted that

$10,207.28 was withheld from Ms. Ransom’s income tax return proceeds in 2025. As of this
writing, the defendant’s current outstanding restitution balance is $21,214.13. Ms. Ransom’s most
recent restitution payment was made May 2, 2025.
The defendant was also reprimanded for her failure to appear for mandatory drug testing at a local
treatment provider during the previous year. She was reminded that each time she fails to appear
for a drug screen constitutes a separate violation of probation. The probation officer warned Ms.
Ransom the continued failure to appear for drug testing may ultimately expose the defendant to
adverse action by the Court. The defendant apologized and acknowledged she understood.
The defendant completed an evidence-based practice worksheet titled RACE (Recognize, Avoid,
Cope, and Evaluate) to assist with the identification of violation behaviors, as set forth above, and
developed a plan to avoid these circumstances in the future. The undersigned probation officer
discussed the plan with Ms. Ransom.
The undersigned officer respectfully recommends the defendant commence 60 days of GPS
monitoring with a curfew, as a special condition.
Ms. Ransom, through counsel, has agreed to participate in a global positioning system (GPS)
monitoring program for 60 days, as a condition of supervised release. The proposed modification
will impose a commensurate punitive sanction in lieu of submitting a petition requesting a warrant
and subsequent revocation from the Court. This modification will allow the defendant to remain
in the community with her newborn child, resume employment, and make payment of restitution.
In addition, GPS monitoring will allow this officer to closely monitor the defendant’s dynamic
risk factors that may lead to further noncompliance. Hopefully, this modification will promote
positive change and avoid further action by the Court.
I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct.
Respectfully submitted,
