United States of America v. Jason Pete Roper

Albuquerque, New Mexico, criminal defense lawyer represented the Defendant charged with three counts of Hobbs Act robbery, 18 U.S.C. 1951.



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.



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.
