A FELON who violated his release conditions escaped additional stay in jail after the federal court denied the revocation of his supervised release.
Gregory L. Brub a.k.a. Gregory Chaco was sentenced three years ago for counterfeiting U.S. currency. Under his original sentence, he was ordered to stay in jail for 12 months and placed under supervised release for three years after his imprisonment.
He was ordered to comply with the standard conditions of probation, refrain from the use or possession of illegal controlled substances, and undergo a substance abuse and mental health assessment.
However, on June 22, 2006, the U.S. Probation Office filed a petition and declaration recommending the revocation of his released condition after he tested positive for marijuana, failed to appear for urinalysis on two separate occasions, failed to perform community service work, and failed to maintain gainful employment.
Brub was initially ordered by the court to perform 300 hours of community service. When he failed to comply, the court modified the condition and included an additional 75 hours of community service.
A status hearing on the violation of supervised release was conducted on Monday where U.S. District Court for Guam and NMI Chief Judge Frances Tydingco-Gatewood denied the revocation of supervised release and instead admonished Brub to abide by all the conditions.
