REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
OF UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
Now before the court is the request for revocation of Defendant Jason Michael Hood’s
(“Defendant”) supervised release. After the District Judge referred the matter to this court for a
report and recommendation, the court conducted a hearing on February 3, 2026, to determine
whether Defendant violated his supervised release. Defendant was represented by Michelle Allen-
McCoy of the Federal Public Defender’s Office. The Government was represented by Bradley
Visosky.
Defendant was sentenced on September 11, 2015, before The Honorable Marcia A. Crone
of the Eastern District of Texas after pleading guilty to the offense of Conspiracy to Possess with
the Intent to Distribute 500 Grams or More of a Mixture or Substance Containing a Detectable
Amount of Methamphetamine or 50 Grams or More of Methamphetamine (actual), a Class A
felony (Dkt. #407 at p. 1, Sealed). This offense carried a statutory maximum imprisonment term
of life (Dkt. #407 at p. 1, Sealed). The guideline imprisonment range, based on a total offense level
of 27 and a criminal history category of VI, was 130 to 162 months (Dkt. #407 at p. 1, Sealed).
Defendant was subsequently sentenced to 162 months of imprisonment followed by a 5-year term
of supervised release subject to the standard conditions of release, plus special conditions to
include financial disclosure; drug abuse aftercare; and a $100 special assessment (Dkt. #407 at p.
1, Sealed). On June 18, 2024, Defendant completed his period of imprisonment and began service

of the supervision term (Dkt. #407 at p. 1, Sealed). On June 6, 2020, this case was reassigned to
the Honorable Amos L. Mazzant, III (Dkt. #407 at p. 1, Sealed). On April 29, 2025, Defendant’s
conditions of supervision were modified to include alcohol abstinence and mental health aftercare
(Dkt. #407 at p. 1, Sealed).
On December 23, 2025, the United States Probation Officer executed a Petition for Warrant
or Summons for Offender Under Supervision (Dkt. #406, Sealed). The Petition asserts that
Defendant violated four (4) conditions of supervision, as follows: (1) (mandatory) Defendant must
not commit another federal, state, or local crime; (2) (mandatory) Defendant must not commit
another federal, state, or local crime; (3) (standard) Defendant shall refrain from excessive use of
alcohol and shall not purchase, possess, use, distribute, or administer any controlled substance or
any paraphernalia related to any controlled substances, except as prescribed by a physician; and
(4) (special) Defendant shall not possess or consume alcoholic beverages (Dkt. #406 at pp. 1–2,
Sealed).
The Petition alleges that Defendant committed the following acts: (1) On April 13, 2025,
Defendant committed the offenses of Terroristic Threat of a Family/Household, a Class A
misdemeanor, and Simple Assault – Family Violence, a Class C misdemeanor, in Athens, Texas.
At the time the Petition was prepared, both charges were pending.; (2) On December 13, 2025,
Defendant committed the offense of Public Intoxication in Kaufman County, Texas. As the time
the Petition was prepared, the charge was pending; (3) On November 17, 2025, Defendant
submitted a drug test that was positive for cocaine. The sample was confirmed positive by the
national testing lab. On October 8, 2025, Defendant submitted a drug test that was initially positive
for cocaine. The sample was not confirmed positive by the national testing lab, as the specimen
was too diluted for the lab to confirm the positive test. However, upon questioning, Defendant

admitted to using cocaine on or around October 4, 2025. He also admitted to using a product called
QCarbo, which is designed to dilute the specimen and manipulate the test results. On August 26,
2025, Defendant reported to the probation office and submitted a drug test that was positive for
cocaine. The sample was confirmed positive by the national testing lab, and Defendant admitted
to using cocaine on or around August 23, 2025. On May 27, 2025, Defendant submitted a drug
test that was positive for cocaine. The sample was confirmed positive by the national testing lab,
and Defendant admitted to using cocaine on or around May 26, 2025. On May 13, 2025, Defendant
submitted a drug test that was positive for cocaine. Defendant admitted to using cocaine on or
around May 9, 2025; and (4) On December 13, 2025, as evidenced by the arrest for Public
Intoxication and his own admission, Defendant consumed alcohol on December 13, 2025. The
probation officer spoke to Defendant on December 15, 2025, and he admitted to drinking alcohol
at his company holiday party on December 13, 2025. On May 27, 2025, Defendant admitted to
consuming alcohol at a party on or around May 26, 2025. (Dkt. #406 at pp. 1-2, Sealed).
Prior to the Government putting on its case at the final revocation hearing, the Government
moved to dismiss allegations (1) and (2). Defendant entered a plea of true to allegations (3) and
(4) of the Petition. Having considered the Petition and the plea of true to allegations (3) and (4),
the court finds that Defendant did violate his conditions of supervised release.
Defendant waived his right to allocute before the District Judge and his right to object to
the report and recommendation of this court (Dkt. #416).

supervised release be revoked and that he be committed to the custody of the Bureau of Prisons to
