ALLEGED VIOLATIONS
The information provided in the previous petition, filed as Docket Entry 140, has been amended as follows:
Violation No. 2 – added new noncompliance
Compliance with Supervision Conditions and Prior Interventions – has been updated
U.S. Probation Officer Recommendations – has been updated
The probation officer believes that the offender has violated the following condition(s) of supervision:
Violation No. 	Nature of Noncompliance
1. 	You shall participate in a program of drug testing and substance abuse treatment
which may include a 30-day inpatient treatment program followed by up to 90 days
in a community correction center at the direction of the United States Probation
Office.
Mr. Tibbs failed to report for drug testing on the following dates:
December 16, 2025
December 18, 2025
December 19, 2025
January 6, 2026
January 15, 2026
2. 	You must refrain from any unlawful use of a controlled substance.
On January 22, 2026, Mr. Tibbs submitted a urinalysis, which tested positive
for marijuana and cocaine. He was confronted with the results and admitted to
using marijuana two days prior and cocaine four days prior.
Compliance with Supervision Conditions and Prior Interventions:
Mr. Tibbs was sentenced on February 8, 2023, in the Middle District of Tennessee. He began his three-year
term of supervised release on February 24, 2023. On November 24, 2025, Mr. Tibbs’ supervised release
was revoked, and he was ordered to time served with two years of supervised release to follow. On May 3,
2025, Mr. Tibbs’ supervised release was revoked, and he was ordered to continue his current supervision
conditions. His term of supervised release is now set to expire on March 24, 2026. He currently resides in
Nashville with his mother and is employed at Black Tie Moving in Nashville.
On December 1, 2025, Mr. Tibbs reported to the office and the probation officer addressed his failure to
report for drug testing as directed. Mr. Tibbs advised his phone had been out of service. The officer inquired
if Mr. Tibbs had access to his mother’s phone, and Mr. Tibbs stated he did. The officer directed Mr. Tibbs
to use his mother’s phone when needed and to set an alarm reminding him to call the drug testing line
nightly.
On December 8, 2025, Mr. Tibbs appeared before the Court for a third revocation hearing. The Court
ordered Mr. Tibbs’ to time served with the same supervision conditions to follow. A status hearing was set
for February 12, 2026, so that the Court could track Mr. Tibbs’ progress with supervision conditions.

On December 16, 2025, the probation officer called Mr. Tibbs and left him a voicemail informing him that
he missed a drug screen on this date, and he must report on December 18, 2025, to drug test. The officer
noted that Mr. Tibbs did call into the drug screen line and was thus aware that he needed to report. Mr.
Tibbs made no effort to reschedule this drug test with the officer. Mr. Tibbs did not report on December
18, 2025, as instructed.
On the morning of December 19, 2025, the probation officer attempted to contact Mr. Tibbs to no avail.
The officer sent Mr. Tibbs a text message instructing him to report first thing that morning to make up the
two previously missed drug screens. Mr. Tibbs failed to report as instructed.
On January 6, 2026, Mr. Tibbs emailed the probation officer to advise that his phone was out of service.
The probation officer promptly responded to the email and reminded Mr. Tibbs that he did have a drug
screen on this day. Mr. Tibbs did not respond to this email or report to the office. As of January 12, 2026,
Mr. Tibbs has made no effort to contact the probation officer.
On January 16, 2026, the previous petition, Docket Entry 140, was filed, advising the Court of Mr.
Tibbs’ additional noncompliance. The probation officer requested a warrant, and the Court issued a
warrant and the consideration of the additional information.
On January 18, 2026, the probation officer reviewed the formal drug testing program call logs and
confirmed that Mr. Tibbs has been calling into the compliance line. Mr. Tibbs was aware of his reporting
instructions for January 6, and January 15, 2026.
On January 22, 2026, Mr. Tibbs appeared before Magistrate Judge Jeffery S. Frensley for an initial
appearance. Mr. Tibbs waived his rights to a detention hearing and remains in federal custody.
Update of Offender Characteristics:
There is no additional information relevant to this section that has not already been provided in this petition.
U.S. Probation Officer Recommendation:
The 	probation 	officer 	respectfully 	recommends 	the 	Court 	consider 	the 	additional
violation/information at the revocation hearing.

Statutory Provisions:
Under 18 U.S.C. § 3583(e)(3) the Court may revoke a term of supervised release, and require the defendant
to serve in prison all or part of the term of supervised release authorized by statute for the offense that
resulted in such term of supervised release without credit for time previously served on post release
supervision, if the Court finds by a preponderance of the evidence that the defendant violated a condition
of supervised release. When a term of supervised release is revoked and the defendant is required to serve
a term of imprisonment, the Court may include a requirement that the defendant be placed on a term of
supervised release after imprisonment. The length of such a term of supervised release shall not exceed the
term of supervised release authorized by statute for the offense that resulted in the original term of
supervised release, less any term of imprisonment that was imposed upon revocation of supervised release,
in accordance with 18 U.S.C. § 3583(h).
Under 18 U.S.C. § 3583(g)(3) if the defendant refuses to comply with drug testing imposed as a condition
of supervised release; the Court shall revoke the term of supervised release and require the defendant to
serve a term of imprisonment not to exceed the maximum term of imprisonment authorized under
subsection (e)(3).
Guideline Policy Statements:
U.S.S.G. § 7C1.1(a)(3) Grade C Violations - conduct constituting (A) a federal, state, or local offense
punishable by a term of imprisonment of one year or less; or (B) a violation of any other condition of
supervision.
U.S.S.G. § 7C1.3(a) and (b) Upon receiving a report that the defendant is in non-compliance with a
condition of supervised release, the court should conduct an individualized assessment to determine what
response, if any, is appropriate. Upon a finding of a violation for which revocation is required by statute
(see 18 USC 3583(g)), the court shall revoke supervised release. Upon a finding of any other violation, the
court shall conduct an individualized assessment, taking into consideration the grade of violation, to

violation, often appropriate for a Grade B violation, and may be appropriate for a Grade C violation.
