Description:
Albuquerque, New Mexico criminal defense lawyer represented the Defendant charged with committing a Hobbs Act robbery.
2
I.
On August 14, August 15, and September 8, 2022—while he was completing a
term of supervised release imposed for a previous federal conviction—Roper robbed
three Ross Dress For Less stores, stealing a total of approximately $1,800. A few
days later, he failed a drug test.
New Mexico filed armed robbery charges against Roper on September
28, 2022. The following day, his federal probation officer petitioned the district
court to revoke his supervised release, based on the state criminal charges and the
failed drug test. Mr. Roper was arrested the same day, September 29, 2022, on a
warrant issued for the alleged supervised release violations.
The district court held an evidentiary hearing on the revocation petition. It
found the evidence submitted fell short of establishing Roper committed the
robberies. But it found he had committed the substance use violation and imposed a thirteen-month prison sentence for that violation.
