Parole revoked for Mario (DOC 513815) after positive drug tests and firearm image

The Louisiana Committee on Parole revoked Mario (DOC 513815) on June 24, 2025, after the panel reviewed evidence that included positive drug screens and a photograph the agent said showed the respondent in possession of a firearm.

At the hearing Mario admitted guilt on some administrative counts and defended others. He told the panel the photograph showed a prop used in music production and that he had not intended to place himself at risk for a firearm conviction. A workplace supervisor — who identified herself as a supervisor at Garrett’s Manufacturing — attended by video and asked the board to give Mario another chance, saying he had a job and stable housing if released.

The board noted multiple violations: travel outside approved area, positive drug screens for marijuana and cocaine, and an image on a phone that the agent said depicted the respondent with a firearm. Members expressed particular concern about firearms given Mario’s prior firearm-related convictions. One member said, "I don't have any tolerance for firearms," and recorded a vote to revoke. The chairman and another member joined that vote, and the committee recorded revocation of parole.

The board’s action returns Mario to custodial status; supervising staff will process the revocation and any follow-up required under Department of Corrections procedures.
