The U.S. Probation has once again sought the revocation of the supervised release of Ryan T. Babauta, an ex-convict who is on federal probation, for allegedly violating supervision conditions. <\/p>\n
U.S. probation officer Gregory Arriola informed the U.S. District Court for the NMI that Babauta submitted a diluted urine sample during a random drug test on July 14, 2014.<\/p>\n
Arriola said that Babauta also failed to appear for counseling sessions on July 29, Aug. 2, Aug. 5, Aug. 6, and Aug. 7, 2014. <\/p>\n
The defendant did not appear for random drug testing on Aug. 3, 2014.<\/p>\n
He also allegedly failed to follow the instructions of the probation officer by not submitting a monthly supervision report within the first week of August and not reporting to the U.S. Probation Office as directed.<\/p>\n
Last January, the federal court revoked Babauta\u2019s supervised release and slapped him with a six-month prison term for using illegal drugs and violating other terms of his probation. <\/p>\n
U.S. District Court for the NMI Chief Judge Ramona V. Manglona also ordered that after completing his prison term, Babauta would be placed on supervised release for 54 months.<\/p>\n
In March 2009, Babauta was among seven prisoners who staged a 14-hour hostage drama at the Department of Corrections in Susupe. At the time, he was serving a prison term for involuntary manslaughter over the killing of a Bangladeshi national in Chalan Kanoa. <\/p>\n
In August 1999, the federal court slapped Babauta with 180-month prison sentence and five years of supervised release, for hostage taking and felon in possession of a firearm. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
