Violation Number Nature of Noncompliance

1 On February 2, 2023, the IUS was arrested by Paterson Police Department for
simple assault. On that date, Thomas’ girlfriend, JC indicated that he “put his
hands on me.” Police observed that JC had a small laceration on the inside of
her lower lip. Although JC asked police not to arrest the IUS and asked that
they “just let him leave,” he was arrested and charged with simple assault. The
probation office has contacted the victim and she has denied any domestic
violence on February 2, 2023. She further indicated she does not wish to pursue
any charges. Thomas has a history of domestic violence arrests with JC and
others.

2 The IUS also has a history of substance abuse while on supervised release. On
October 21, 2022, Thomas provided his probation officer with paperwork from
St. Joseph hospital showing that he tested positive for opiates, amphetamines,
and benzodiazepine. He informed probation that this positive drug test was a
result of taking his girlfriend’s medication. On December 30, 2022, Thomas
admitted to using ecstasy.

U.S. Probation Officer Action:
Our office recommends temporarily withholding Court action. Thomas has agreed to enter an inpatient
treatment program. The probation office is attempting to get Thomas placed into inpatient treatment as
soon as possible. His girlfriend has been directed to call the police if she feels threatened by the Thomas.
Additionally, intensive aftercare treatment will be arranged for the IUS and drug testing will be increased.
Should changes occur or these criminal charges are resolved, Your Honor will be notified, and formal Court
action will be taken.

Respectfully submitted,

SUSAN M. SMALLEY, Chief
