Judge West Gives Violent Offender One Last Chance Before Prison

In this courtroom hearing, the judge reviewed a motion to revoke probation (MTRP) for a defendant originally placed on three years of deferred probation for injury to a child, elderly, or disabled individual. The defendant admitted to multiple violations, including drug use, curfew breaches, failure to maintain employment, and new violent charges in Smith County for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, assault causing bodily injury, and family violence by impeding breath.

Despite these serious offenses, prosecutors proposed the SAFE-P (Substance Abuse Felony Punishment) program, a strict drug-treatment program within the prison system. The defense supported this, citing the defendant’s history of mental health struggles and hospitalization for self-harm.

The judge expressed strong concern about the violence, warning this was the defendant’s final opportunity to avoid a prison sentence of up to 10 years. She stressed personal responsibility, respectful conduct toward jail staff, and strict compliance during both the county jail waiting period and the SAFE-P program. Any further violations—inside jail or during treatment—would result in immediate revocation and a lengthy prison term.

Ultimately, the court extended probation by two years, ordered entry into the SAFE-P (or special-needs SAFE-P if required), and gave a zero-tolerance warning for any future misconduct.
