Respectfully presenting Petition for Action of Court and for cause as follows:
On December 17, 2025, Makenna Faye Patty was released on bond with conditions by United
States Magistrate Judge Debra C. Poplin.
Upon her release from custody on December 17, 2025, the defendant immediately entered
Cornerstone of Recovery’s inpatient substance abuse treatment program in Louisville, Tennessee.
On January 15, 2026, defendant Patty successfully completed Cornerstone of Recovery’s program,
and she immediately transitioned into Knox Area Rescue Ministries’ (KARM) Serenity Ministries
program, which is an 18–24-month residential alcohol and drug recovery program.
On March 2, 2026, this officer received a phone call from the defendant’s Care Coordinator,
Sabrina Langham, at Serenity Ministries. Ms. Langham advised the day before (March 1, 2026)
defendant Patty was observed smoking a vape, which is against program rules. Subsequently, the
defendant was drug screened by the program and tested positive for tobacco. The program initiated

internal sanctions. Defendant Patty admitted to this officer she had smoked a vape, and she knew
it was against program rules.
On March 30, 2026, this officer received a phone call from Ms. Langham, and she advised
yesterday afternoon a program participant reported to Serenity Ministries’ staff that defendant
Patty had a vape concealed in her room and had been ingesting unknown pills that were also
concealed in her room. Additionally, the participant advised she had provided defendant Patty with
urine, so the defendant could pass her drug screens. According to Ms. Langham, staff members
have been attempting to obtain a drug screen from the defendant since yesterday (March 29, 2026)
afternoon; however, thus far, they have been unsuccessful, as defendant Patty has refused to
provide a urine sample. Based on her continued violations of program rules, Ms. Langham
indicated the defendant would be discharged from the program.
Based upon the above information, it would appear Ms. Patty is in violation of her pretrial release
conditions.
PRAYING THAT THE COURT WILL ORDER
A warrant be issued, and a hearing be scheduled for the Court to determine why the defendant’s
bond supervision should not be revoked.
This Petition is to be placed under seal until the defendant is served or appears in Court.
