ALLEGED VIOLATIONS
The information provided in the previous petition, filed as Docket Entry 	61, has been amended as follows:

Violation No. 	Nature of Noncompliance
1. 	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.
Since starting supervision in November of 2024, Mr. Jackson-Spencer has not
maintained any full or part-time employment. The probation officer has provided
Mr. Jackson-Spencer with multiple employment resources. 	Mr. Jackson-Spencer
is currently unemployed.
2. 	You shall participate in a mental health program as directed by the United

Jackson-Spencer was introduced to a representative at Uprise and was given contact
information to contact the representative for employment. Mr. Jackson-Spencer was
instructed 	to 	email 	the 	representative 	and 	officer 	with 	his 	information 	so

Docket Number: 	3:21-00052-001
On December 4, 2024, Mr. Jackson-Spencer was referred for a mental health evaluation and mental health
treatment with On Your Mind Counseling. On December 23, 2024, Mr. Jackson-Spencer completed a
mental health assessment, and it was recommended that he attend weekly mental health and substance abuse
individual therapy sessions. Mr. Jackson-Spencer’s attendance with appointments have been inconsistent,
and he is now at risk of being terminated from treatment. He has used 1 of his 3 unexcused absences.
On December 10, 2025, the officer provided Mr. Jackson-Spencer with a resource for the Davidson County
Legal Clinic to assist him with obtaining his license.
On December 20, 2024, the undersigned officer informed the court of the non-compliance of a positive
drug screen, and no action was taken.
On February 20, 2025, the officer sent Mr. Jackson-Spencer employment resources for Tyson Foods and
Restaurant Depot.
On March 25, 2025, Mr. Jackson-Spencer’s mother informed the probation officer that Mr. Jackson-
Spencer lost his state ID. The officer promptly sent Mr. Jackson-Spencer’s mother a picture of Mr. Jackson-
Spencer’s valid ID so that he could use the ID number to request a new copy.
On June 30, 2025, the officer spoke with Mr. Jackson-Spencer about his failure to gain employment. Mr.
Jackson-Spencer reported that he is very irritable and does not plan to work more than three or four hours
a day. He would like to own his own business, so he doesn’t have to work often. The officer conferred with
Mr. Jackson-Spencer’s counselor at On Your Mind Counseling, who stated that Mr. Jackson-Spencer’s
mental health should not inhibit him from working at this time.
On July 7, 2025, Mr. Jackson-Spencer reported in on a summons for the supervised release violations
alleged in this petition. While waiting for his initial appearance, Mr. Jackson-Spencer was reportedly telling
several employees that he needed a new probation officer, and he was loudly telling other clients in the
lobby that his probation officer “sets him up.” The undersigned officer spoke with Mr. Jackson-Spencer
and asked how the probation office could further assist him with his supervision requirements. Mr. Jackson-
Spencer stated that this probation officer should have used her “connections” to obtain him a new ID. The
officer explained that he has a valid ID and needed to simply request a copy of the ID.
On July 9, 2025, On Your Mind Counseling informed the probation officer that Mr. Jackson-Spencer
wanted to cancel his psychiatric intake appointment. The officer informed On Your Mind Counseling that
Mr. Jackson-Spencer is required to participate in mental health treatment, and the appointment was
rescheduled to July 15, 2025, which Mr. Jackson-Spencer attended. 	On Your Mind Counseling
recommended that Mr. Jackson-Spencer attend weekly mental health and substance abuse individual
therapy sessions and complete a psychiatric evaluation. Mr. Jackson-Spencer completed a psychiatric intake
on July 17, 2025, and was recommended to start Propranolol for anxiety disorder and continue with weekly
counseling.
On September 24, 2025, Mr. Jackson-Spencer appeared before the court for a revocation hearing. Although
Mr. Jackson-Spencer requested to serve the rest of his time on supervised release in custody, all parties
agreed that the hearing should be continued for approximately 60 days so that Mr. Jackson-Spencer could
cease marijuana use, be compliant with substance abuse treatment, and continue working.
On 	November 	6, 	2025, 	the 	officer 	instructed 	Mr. 	Jackson-Spencer 	to 	provide 	employment
verification for September and October. Mr. Jackson-Spencer advised he lost his job at Allied
Crawford “approximately two weeks before his last hearing date” because of transportation issues.
The officer asked why Mr. Jackson-Spencer did not report this to the officer or the court at the time

of the hearing, and he stated because he was welcomed back at Allied Crawford when he could find
transportation, but transportation has been too complicated. The officer provided Mr. Jackson-
Spencer with several job leads in walking distance from his home. The officer also instructed Mr.
Jackson-Spencer to email his resume so that the officer could assist him with editing it for optimal
traction with future employers. As of November 12, 2025, Mr. Jackson-Spencer verified he applied
at Kroger, but has not sent any further job applications or utilized the officer’s services with resume
building.
