Matthew Williams (DOC#480215) asked the Committee on Parole on Dec. 2, 2025, to impose a short administrative sanction rather than revoking parole, citing family illness and a desire to enter treatment. Williams told the panel he would accept drug testing and go to rehab. "Please consider me for a sanction, please. I'm begging you," he said.

Committee members reviewed the record of positive drug tests and inconsistent whereabouts while under supervision and concluded Williams participated in illegal activity. The board discussed whether an administrative sanction could be used, but members said Williams remained ineligible for a short sanction because of an aggravated‑offense supervisory status and the nature of the conduct. The committee voted to revoke parole and instructed staff to explore treatment options while Williams is returned to custody.

Members noted Williams is a multiple‑offense, seventh‑felony offender with prior revocations and said public‑safety concerns and repeated noncompliance limited the board’s options. The chair recorded the revocation and said staff will identify available treatment placements and report back to the committee.
