PETITIONING THE COURT
To issue a warrant.
On May 21, 2024, an officer with the U.S. Probation Office in Spokane, Washington, reviewed a copy of the
conditions of supervision with Michelle Zat, as outlined in the judgment and sentence. She signed the judgment
acknowledging the requirements.
The probation officer believes that the offender has violated the following condition(s) of supervision:
Violation Number
1
Nature of Noncompliance
Standard Condition #7: You must work full time (at least 30 hours per week) at a lawful
type of employment, unless the probation officer excuses you from doing so. If you do not
have full-time employment you must try to find full-time employment, unless the probation
officer excuses you from doing so. If you plan to change where you work or anything about
your work (such as your position or your job responsibilities), you must notify the probation
officer at least 10 days before the change. If notifying the probation officer at least 10 days
in advance is not possible due to unanticipated circumstances, you must notify the probation
officer within 72 hours of becoming aware of a change or expected change.
Supporting Evidence: On or about June 2, 2026, Michelle Zat allegedly violated standard
condition number 7 by failing to notify the U.S. Probation Office of a change in her
employment.
On June 30, 2026, the offender sent this officer a text message to check-in. In that text
message, Mrs. Zat stated she was no longer employed with Spoko Fuel as of June 2, 2026.
Because it had been approximately 28 days since the change in employment, significantly
longer than allowed by the Court ordered supervision conditions, the undersigned officer

immediately contacted the offender. Mrs. Zat claimed she had quit her job with the company
because her boss “was out to get (her).”
This officer then directly asked the offender if there were any issues in particular that led to
her departure from the company, and she insisted there were not.
On July 1, 2026, this officer contacted the human resources department of Spoko Fuel.
According to the information received, because of suspicions the employer had, random
urinalysis testing was conducted on June 2, 2026, at the Spoko Fuel where Mrs. Zat was
employed. After being notified that she would need to submit to random urinalysis testing,
the offender reportedly consulted with her husband before quitting her job with no advance
notice.
2
Mandatory Condition #1: You must not commit another federal, state or local crime.
Supporting Evidence: On or about July 10, 2026, Michelle Zat allegedly violated
mandatory condition number 1 by being arrested for Driving Under the Influence, in
violation of RCW 46.61.502.
On July 10, 2026, at approximately 10:27 p.m., law enforcement received a call advising that
a vehicle was had been speeding before hitting an airport fence, then “wrecking” in a ditch.
Officers reported to the scene to find Mrs. Zat in a vehicle, registered to her husband, that
was deemed “not driveable.”
Officers noted they immediately smelled the odor of intoxicants coming from Mrs. Zat,
whose speech was heavily slurred and she had bloodshot watery eyes.
Based on the information currently available, the offender refused to submit to breathalyzer
testing, so a search warrant was requested. Once the search warrant was granted, a blood
draw was conducted on July 11, 2026, and the laboratory results are currently pending.
In the early morning hours of July 11, 2026, Mrs. Zat was booked into the Spokane County
Jail, where she currently remains incarcerated as of the writing of this report.
The U.S. Probation Office respectfully recommends the Court issue a warrant requiring the offender to appear to
answer to the allegations contained in this petition.
I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct.
