Hinzugefügt: 2026-06-01

[00:00:00]This plea hearing suddenly turns tense when the judge starts questioning the overdose story, the syringe charge, and the substances involved.

[00:00:08]What seemed routine quickly becomes a serious courtroom moment.

[00:00:12]>> This is 54D01-2507-AS-6-2107, State of Indiana versus Dylan Ashby. Could you state your name for the record, please?

[00:00:18]>> Dylan Steven Ashby.

[00:00:19]>> Let your record show the defendant appears here in person in the custody of Montgomery County Jail and with counsel John Drier. The state appears by Chief Deputy Prosecutor Andrew Sulter. The matter set today for hearing on the recommendation of the agreement. Is that your understanding of what we're doing here today, sir?

[00:00:32]>> Yes, ma'am. Your Honor.

[00:00:33]>> Well, the court can accept a guilty plea from you, but the court must be satisfied that you understand the nature of the charges against you, the possible penalties, and your constitutional rights. That your plea of guilty is freely and voluntarily made. There's a factual basis for the pleading you are in fact guilty. It will therefore be necessary that we ask you some questions and take some evidence from you. If at any time you don't understand something that's being said, please interrupt the proceedings so we can clarify matters for you. Do you understand?

[00:00:55]>> Yes, Your Honor.

[00:00:56]>> You can also speak to your attorney at any time. Do you understand?

[00:00:59]>> Yes, Your Honor.

[00:01:00]>> How old are you, sir?

[00:01:01]>> 39.

[00:01:02]>> How far did you go in school?

[00:01:04]>> Uh GED.

[00:01:05]>> Do you read, write, and understand English?

[00:01:07]>> Yes, Your Honor.

[00:01:09]>> Do you suffer from any mental illness?

[00:01:11]>> No.

[00:01:12]>> To your knowledge, do you have a history of any mental illness or emotional disability?

[00:01:15]>> No.

[00:01:16]>> Are you today under the influence of any alcohol, drugs, or other intoxicating substances?

[00:01:20]>> No.

[00:01:26]>> As I understand the terms of the plea agreement, you would be pleading guilty to count one, possession of syringes as a Level 6 felony. The remaining counts against you would be dismissed.

[00:01:34]The agreement on sentencing is you would receive a sentence of two years to the Department of Corrections, suspended except for time served. Uh probation for 24 months upon all other terms and conditions of probation set within the court's discretion. Decisions regarding fines and costs left to the court's discretion. State to make no further recommendation other than acceptance of the plea agreement. Is that your understanding of the terms of your plea?

[00:01:56]>> Yes, Your Honor.

[00:01:57]>> And Mr. Dryer?

[00:01:58]>> Yes, your honor.

[00:01:58]>> And State?

[00:01:59]>> Yes, your honor.

[00:02:00]>> In order to convict you of count one, the state would have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt at trial on or about July 5th, 2025 in Montgomery County, State of Indiana, one Dylan S. Ashby, with intent to violate the Indiana Legend Drug Act under Indiana Code 16-42-19, or to commit an offense described in Indiana Code 35-48-4, did knowingly possess or have under his control a hypodermic syringe or needle or an instrument adapted for the use of a legend drug or controlled substance by injection in a human being.

[00:02:29]You understand the state would have to prove those elements beyond a reasonable doubt in order to convict you at trial.

[00:02:35]>> Yes.

[00:02:36]>> Count one is a Level 6 felony is punishable by a sentence to the Department of Corrections of not less than 6 months not more than 2 and 1/2 years with an advisory sentence of 1 year. It also carries with it a maximum fine of $10,000.

[00:02:48]Do you understand the possible penalties you're facing?

[00:02:50]>> Yes, your honor.

[00:02:51]>> You have certain constitutional rights that you carry with you throughout these proceedings. Those are your right to a public and speedy trial by jury. You have the right to be presumed innocent unless and until the state proves you guilty beyond a reasonable doubt to each element of an offense.

[00:03:04]You have the right to confront and cross-examine the witnesses against you, to see them, hear them, and ask them questions. You have the right to have witnesses appear testify on your behalf, and you use the court's subpoena power to make them come to court.

[00:03:14]You have the right against self-incrimination or what people commonly call your right to remain silent. The fact that you don't testify can never be used against you. In fact, you don't have to call any witnesses or present any evidence whatsoever because the entire burden is on the state.

[00:03:26]You also have the right to testify in your own defense. Should you choose to exercise that right at trial, you would be subject to cross-examination, and your statements could be used against you. You have the right to appeal a conviction to a higher court of law.

[00:03:38]That would include your right to appeal the terms of any sentencing orders. Do you understand those rights, sir?

[00:03:43]>> Yes, your honor.

[00:03:44]>> Do you understand that by offering to plead guilty today, you're waiving those rights or giving them up?

[00:03:48]>> Yes, your honor.

[00:03:48]>> You understand that there will not be a trial. The state's not bringing witnesses in here to prove that you're guilty, but that you'd be proving your own guilt by your own sworn testimony.

[00:03:56]>> Yes.

[00:03:57]>> You also have the right, sir, to be represented by an attorney. If you cannot afford an attorney of your own choosing, the court will appoint an attorney to represent you. Do you understand that you have the right to counsel, sir?

[00:04:06]>> Yeah.

[00:04:07]>> I'm sorry?

[00:04:08]>> Yes.

[00:04:09]>> That's a right that you never waive. You don't give that up even by pleading guilty. And even if you go forward today with your guilty plea, Mr. Dryer will continue to represent you to the conclusion of these proceedings. Do you understand?

[00:04:18]>> Yes, your honor.

[00:04:19]>> Do you understand that the plea agreement is an agreement between you, your attorney, and the state, and that the court is not a party to it?

[00:04:25]>> Yes, your honor.

[00:04:25]>> If the court accepts the plea, then the court becomes bound by its terms, just as you are. Should the court reject the plea for any reason, your not guilty plea would be reinstated for you.

[00:04:33]Today's proceedings would not be a matter of record. Do you understand?

[00:04:37]>> Yes, your honor.

[00:04:37]>> Do you understand that in order to determine an appropriate sentence, the court must consider what are called aggravating and mitigating factors.

[00:04:43]Aggravating factors are factors which weigh against you, which might make your sentence more harsh or punish you more severely. For example, if you have a prior criminal record, the court would consider that an aggravating factor.

[00:04:54]Mitigating factors are factors which weigh in your favor, which might make your sentence more lenient. For example, the fact of offering to plead guilty might be considered a mitigating factor.

[00:05:02]Do you understand the difference, sir?

[00:05:04]>> Yes.

[00:05:05]>> Do you understand that the court is required to consider both aggravators and mitigators to determine an appropriate sentence?

[00:05:10]>> Yes.

[00:05:10]>> Do you understand that if the court accepts the plea today and enters a judgment of conviction against you, and you're ever convicted of crimes in the future, this conviction would serve as an aggravator for future sentencing purposes.

[00:05:20]>> Yes.

[00:05:20]>> In other words, your criminal record follows you. Do you understand that?

[00:05:23]>> Yes.

[00:05:24]>> Has anyone forced you to plead guilty?

[00:05:26]>> No, ma'am.

[00:05:26]>> Has anyone made any uh threats against you or anyone else to get you to plead guilty?

[00:05:31]>> No.

[00:05:31]>> Has anyone placed you or anyone else in fear in order to get you to plead guilty?

[00:05:35]>> No.

[00:05:35]>> Has anyone made any promises to you outside the terms of your plea agreement to get you to plead guilty?

[00:05:39]>> No.

[00:05:40]>> Is your plea of guilty today your own free and voluntary act?

[00:05:43]>> Yes.

[00:05:44]>> Are you satisfied with the services Mr. Dryer has given to you as your attorney?

[00:05:47]>> Yes.

[00:05:48]>> You believe he's properly representing you?

[00:05:50]>> Yes.

[00:05:51]>> Is it still your intention to go forward today with your guilty plea?

[00:05:53]>> Yes, your honor.

[00:05:55]>> Mr. Doran?

[00:05:56]>> Your honor, Mr. Ashby would request the court withdraw his earlier plea of not guilty to the uh plea uh we submitted to the court.

[00:06:06]>> Mr. Ashby, you heard your attorney's motion. Do you join in that motion?

[00:06:08]>> Yes.

[00:06:10]>> The motion will be granted. How do you plead to count one, possession of a syringe as a level six felony pursuant to the terms of your plea agreement?

[00:06:15]Guilty or not guilty?

[00:06:16]>> Guilty.

[00:06:17]>> Please step up to the witness stand and raise your right hand and be sworn and take the oath for me.

[00:06:23]Who's standing?

[00:06:24]>> Dill.

[00:06:25]>> Do you swear or affirm the testimony you're about to give is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?

[00:06:29]>> I do, sir.

[00:06:29]>> You may be seated. Please state your name for the record.

[00:06:31]>> Dill Steven Ashby.

[00:06:33]>> Thank you. State.

[00:06:34]>> Mr. Ashby, were you born March 26th, 1987?

[00:06:37]>> Yes, sir.

[00:06:38]>> On July 5th, 2025, in Noblesville, Hamilton County, Indiana, did you with intent to violate the Indiana legend drug act or commit an offense described in Indiana code 35-48-4, knowingly possess or have in your control a hypodermic syringe or needle or instrument adapted for the use of a legend drug or controlled substance by injection in the state of Indiana?

[00:06:58]>> Yes, sir.

[00:06:59]>> No other questions, your honor.

[00:07:02]>> No question.

[00:07:03]>> I'll take judicial notice of the affidavit of probable cause. And as I recall, uh I haven't read it recently, but this incident occurred when the CVS contacted police because you were in the restroom there for an extensive period of time.

[00:07:16]Were you Were you overdosing in there?

[00:07:19]>> I don't really remember, honestly.

[00:07:21]I was very intoxicated.

[00:07:23]>> On?

[00:07:24]>> Uh substances I ordered off the internet that weren't even scheduled.

[00:07:30]But they probably are now.

[00:07:32]I'm not really sure.

[00:07:34]>> Why'd you have this syringe with you?

[00:07:36]>> For those substances.

[00:07:38]>> State the substances that they found on his uh person. are they uh legend drugs or controlled substances?

[00:07:46]>> Well, as to kratom, I don't know. Um I would have to look into it.

[00:07:53]Um I'm not sure I know first thing around.

[00:08:00]Yeah, kratom pills and then green powder that they found in the container was kratom also.

[00:08:07]I don't know that would be a research matter for me.

[00:08:13]>> [clears throat] >> Well, that's an element of the offense.

[00:08:19]So, the court's going to determine if the plea agreement under advisement pending uh further evidence at a hearing.

[00:08:26]>> There there is case law finding kratom was scheduled for the drug and was a scheduled substance.

[00:08:32]>> So, do you agree with that?

[00:08:33]>> Yeah.

[00:08:34]>> I'm asking >> I'm not asking you.

[00:08:37]I I don't have any reason to question that. Mr. Carr's done his research.

[00:08:42]>> All right. We'll take the matter of plea under advisement pending further evidence. Mr. uh Carr, would you like to go forward? And really my concern is that uh he's been sitting in our jail probably because he failed to appear at some point.

[00:08:54]>> I was incarcerated.

[00:08:56]>> Sir?

[00:08:56]>> I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

[00:08:58]>> This is not a conversation that he was on probation for a rather lengthy period of time in a prior case while this when these charges accrued for dealing in a schedule one controlled substance out of Hamilton County. So, I'm not sure if he's actually an appropriate candidate for probation.

[00:09:14]Thus, I don't it's not even clear to me that he has a place to live.

[00:09:18]So, those are the issues that I want uh to have addressed during sentencing. Mr. Carr?

[00:09:27]>> Are we going forward with sentencing?

[00:09:29]>> Yeah.

[00:09:29]>> Okay.

[00:09:30]>> I'm just saying the plea under advisement so we can get that information verified today.

[00:09:38]>> Dylan, you've the the record check from probation, correct?

[00:09:45]>> Yeah. Yes, sir.

[00:09:46]>> And was it accurate?

[00:09:48]>> Yes, sir.

[00:09:49]>> And We've discussed probation in this county, correct?

[00:09:56]>> Yes, sir.

[00:09:56]>> And I've told you that the judge is is well known for being quite strict with probation. You understand, right?

[00:10:04]>> Yes, sir.

[00:10:05]>> And you understand that possessing any illegal substances for whatever reason probation is forbidden, right?

[00:10:15]>> Yes, sir.

[00:10:16]>> And you're going to give your probation your your top priority, correct?

[00:10:21]>> Yes, sir.

[00:10:23]>> Um Were there any corrections or errors in the report?

[00:10:32]>> Um I did successfully complete community corrections as far as work release and house arrest goes on that. D felony I just violated the last 4 months of probation for THC.

[00:10:45]Um did almost all 2 years of probation. I just violated at the very end.

[00:10:50]And and the D felony, I did successfully complete house arrest and probation on.

[00:10:56]And uh >> [clears throat] >> this was a relapse for me uh based on some stressful experiences.

[00:11:09]>> So, you're saying the Hamilton County D felony with which you were charged, you you got down to the home stretch and then you got you tested positive for marijuana.

[00:11:21]>> Yes, sir.

[00:11:23]>> You understand that when you're on probation in this county, even though you can buy marijuana products or CBD products at gas at a lot of these gas stations you can't be in possession or use them. Do you understand that Dylan?

[00:11:37]>> Yes, sir.

[00:11:39]>> Anything else you want to say to the court?

[00:11:42]>> Um In in the free world I do a lot of ministry and uh I have a I have a history of drug abuse and drug addiction but I've been clean for quite some time only using over-the-counter products um for various different reasons and this was a relapse based on trauma that I was experiencing. I've been through a lot last 5 years.

[00:12:06]Um been through a divorce.

[00:12:08]Uh I got stuck in a cult in in Kentucky. Uh I have a lot of a lot of traumatic experience so I was just any any stress that came my way and I was living off the grid.

[00:12:20]And um that's why this happened. I was just I didn't know what to do with myself cuz I needed a place to live. I needed a normal job. I needed an idea. I had an idea. I'm ready to be back as a normal citizen and have ID and live over the table and that's why this all happened.

[00:12:37]It's just ticking time bomb basically.

[00:12:39]>> You understand that probation uh one of their jobs is to help you in your effort to rehabilitate yourself but you have to do what they tell you. You understand that, right?

[00:12:49]>> Yes, sir.

[00:12:51]>> Nothing further.

[00:12:53]>> State Um I don't have any questions.

[00:12:59]>> Where are you going to live Mr. Ashby?

[00:13:01]>> Um I don't have an address at the current time but uh uh it's only temporary. I got some ideas of where to live. I got some people I can call.

[00:13:10]Um there's homeless shelters in nearby cities if I can't find it immediately.

[00:13:18]>> So I'm looking at your substance abuse questionnaire.

[00:13:24]And I printed this page because I'm having trouble reading it.

[00:13:27]>> Yeah, I had the I had those super awful bendable pens that I couldn't write with strictly.

[00:13:33]Super rough. Yeah, the gel pens.

[00:13:36]>> Under the cannabis section, you say your you frequency of use you say regular, holy sacrament for something.

[00:13:44]It's in the Bible.

[00:13:46]Something else holy something.

[00:13:49]Hebrew something. I can't read what it says.

[00:13:53]>> I'm a Rastafarian and I'm just answering this honestly.

[00:13:57]It's not a It's not a challenge or anything, but cannabis is specifically mentioned in the Bible in the Hebrew manuscripts 70 times in the Hebrew word for cannabis. That's what I'm saying.

[00:14:07]That's my That's why I have regular use of cannabis.

[00:14:10]Uh the struggle I have struggles with is opiates um that and that's that's what I need treatment for.

[00:14:17]>> What's the bottom part say?

[00:14:19]>> It's about my opiate.

[00:14:21]>> I I understand that it's about opiates, but I again I'm having trouble reading it. All I can read is if opiates help me work 16 hours a day if need be then I >> I lack natural endorphin production.

[00:14:31]Endorphin is an opiate that the brain makes that is stronger than morphine.

[00:14:35]Endorphin is responsible for overall contentment and well-being, gut health, etc. Even cheese has endorphin-like compounds called casomorphin.

[00:14:46]I will see a doctor about this and suboxone if necessary.

[00:14:51]>> What's the last sentence say?

[00:14:52]>> As as Indiana law because because Indian Indiana law seems to be partial against herbal medicines like kratom, poppy.

[00:15:02]I was just answering very honestly.

[00:15:03]>> Sure. So you don't have any any place to go when you get out of jail.

[00:15:08]>> I do have I have several ideas. I just don't have a phone to access the people I need to call to to get those addresses, but also there's LTHC and and um other homeless shelters in Lafayette.

[00:15:22]There's I I have places that I'm going to go. I'm not just going to walk around the streets here.

[00:15:28]>> Well, you have to report an address to probation.

[00:15:33]And if you're homeless, you have to report to them every day where you're going to be staying.

[00:15:37]Do you have the means to do that?

[00:15:38]>> Yes, ma'am.

[00:15:39]>> How so?

[00:15:40]>> I have a phone ready at storage unit my family put in there for me. They bought me a phone and clothes and shoes and put some money in there for me.

[00:15:48]Um just taking it one day at a time right now cuz I don't have a way to contact all the people I know.

[00:15:57]I have all the phone numbers memorized.

[00:16:01]>> So, when did you get released from DOC?

[00:16:03]>> April 13th.

[00:16:04]>> That's when you got brought to our jail?

[00:16:06]>> Yes, ma'am.

[00:16:07]>> Uh when were you last employed?

[00:16:09]>> Uh right before I got locked up, I was doing under the table work for people in this community. I volunteered at the church, which my uncle's the pastor of.

[00:16:17]He's sitting in the pews over there. Um uh all kinds of different landscaping and tree work and farm work.

[00:16:30]I don't really have a specific place.

[00:16:32]It's in different people I worked for in the church in the Methodist Church.

[00:16:36]>> Do you understand that a term of your probation in this court will be a requirement of probation, full-time probation, or full-time employment at a job where you get a W-2 or a 1099 and a pay stub?

[00:16:46]>> Yes, ma'am. I'm excited to do that. I'm excited to be over the table and live like a normal citizen.

[00:16:51]>> So, why have you not been doing that if if it's so important to you?

[00:16:54]>> Because I was living off-grid and I believed in sovereign ideology and I'm ready to be done with that.

[00:17:00]>> Maybe it took him a while to find out that sovereign moving wasn't good for him, but at least he's coming out of it.

[00:17:04]>> A lot of different religious reasons that that was the case. And it was just getting harder and harder after COVID to to live like that because everything just seemed to get worse and worse after COVID and finding under the table work has just seemed more impossible to find.

[00:17:19]>> Looking good, Mr. Drummond.

[00:17:21]>> No, but I'm just saying. Nothing I'll turn in.

[00:17:24]>> Arguments to make, sir, in the in support of this plea agreement that the court is not getting accepted.

[00:17:29]>> Um >> Talking to your attorney.

[00:17:31]>> Uh well, your honor, um as as mentioned earlier, we've spoken with Mr. Miller in negotiating this, um there were discussions that Creighton had is on the uh list of schedules and iconic case in Westmore. I don't have it printed with me.

[00:17:51]Uh and in talking to Mr. Ashworth, he was willing to save the court of the county and the people of the county and the the litigators the uh time and effort and expense of the litigation. Uh he he's been extremely frank. Not that frankness has levels, but this is a Dylan doesn't mess around. He tells the truth. I don't know that lying is in his nature. Unfortunately, he got himself in with various crowds as he's discussed, various viewpoints, uh that have led him astray. And I when he says that he's excited to have a regular job and that he's tired of living off the grid, I think what he's really talking about is living in a subculture. And it's not like he's going to be Mr. Tom Q. Public in the future, but he's going to live uh totally legit.

[00:18:51]I think I believe that when he tells me.

[00:18:53]I have stressed to him, you know, it's rough stuff from background and the issue about not being able to use any CBD stuff.

[00:19:03]And I've talked to him about the um how the court is run on for dealing with probation violations, and he totally accepts them and is willing to go on probation and abide by those terms.

[00:19:18]>> Sent.

[00:19:20]You have any arguments in support of your theory?

[00:19:23]Not a sentencing argument, but an argument in support of the plea.

[00:19:26]>> Well, yes, your honor.

[00:19:29]This is you know, this is an offense that involves um possession, you know, I I understand um it's kind of the phrase addiction is not a crime, it's kind of a loaded loaded expression, but um um this really does not implicate public safety. Um Mr. Mr. Adkins said that he has a plan for succeeding succeeding on probation.

[00:20:01]Um and uh I I don't believe that there's any benefit to just keep him in jail and avoiding putting him on probation by you know, okay, we're going to hold him for a longer period of time because we don't think he can be on probation. I I don't see the benefit. We might as well let him out.

[00:20:21]Put him on probation and uh if he um you know, if he he is not able to keep probation advised of his address and so forth, then I I you know, it's time to put a warrant out for him and and and do something else, but I I don't see any benefit to rejecting the plea agreement.

[00:20:41]>> That was a solid argument.

[00:20:45]Well, I find that Dylan Askew is a male person presently 39 years of age having a date of birth of March 26, 1987, that he understands the nature of the charges against him and possible penalties and his constitutional rights, that his plea of guilty is freely and voluntarily made, there's a factual basis for the plea that he is in fact guilty of count one possession of syringe and those six felony. The court accepts the plea agreement and enters judgment of conviction accordingly.

[00:21:05]In doing so, the court has taken into account the content of the present records check. And Mr. Ashby, even though you said, "Oh, I I successfully completed." Back in 2007, you were sentenced for forgery, sentenced to probation, violated. They They filed two violations against you. Your suspended sentence was revoked, and you were ordered to home detention.

[00:21:24]And then you were granted a modification, and probation was terminated. So, you did violate, and then you eventually finished it. In 2009, then, when you were sentenced for this dealing offense, you're given a sentence of 10 years with credit for time served and a remaining balance on house arrest, 4 years suspended, probation for 2 years.

[00:21:47]Then, uh 2 years later, they filed a violation, and then a community corrections violation. You were found in violation, ordered to serve a year in DOC, and then moved to work release, and then home detention.

[00:22:01]And then, in 2014, there's a violation filed, and it was pending, it looks like, for 11 years.

[00:22:10]There was a warrant outstanding for you for 11 years. So, that's my concern.

[00:22:17]And then, when uh they finally attached you all the warrant was after these charges were filed. So, that's my concern. So, I hope that you are done with living off the grid and whatever uh you've been doing, because that's just not going to work with this probation, I assure you.

[00:22:31]You're obviously very intelligent.

[00:22:33]So, you need to use that to your benefit, instead of using it to avoid responsibility for your actions.

[00:22:40]>> You do your honoring, Brian.

[00:22:41]>> For having accepted the plea agreement, I sentence you pursuant to its terms.

[00:22:44]You may step out, sir, and have a seat over there.

[00:22:47]You will be sentenced on count one to 2 years in the Department of Corrections.

[00:22:51]That'll be suspended, except for the time that you serve. We've calculated your credit time at 33 actual days.

[00:22:55]That's the first 2 days that you served at the time of your arrest, and then you've been in custody for 31 days, it looks like now, for a total of 33 actual days or 66 credit days. The balance will be suspended. You'll be placed on probation for 2 years on the following terms and conditions. You shall not violate the law. You shall notify probation of any arrest within 72 hours.

[00:23:14]You shall report to and cooperate with your probation officer as directed. You shall continue to report to probation until you are relieved from doing so by the court even if a modification or revocation is pending. It is at all times your responsibility to maintain contact with probation.

[00:23:28]You shall provide your address and telephone number to probation. You shall not change your residence or your telephone number without notifying probation in advance.

[00:23:35]You shall maintain employment. Again, that means that a job where you get a W-2 and either a or a W-2 or a 1099 and a pay stub. You shall notify probation of any any change in employment. If you're unemployed, you shall actively seek employment. For any week that you're not employed at least 20 hours per week, you shall donate 20 hours of community service. So, it's in to your benefit to get employed sooner rather than later.

[00:23:57]You shall obtain a written travel permit from probation before leaving the state and you shall sign a waiver of extradition. You shall allow probation access to your residence at all times.

[00:24:05]You shall sign a Fourth Amendment waiver to allow for the search of your person or your property.

[00:24:10]You are specifically advised that probation, law enforcement, or community corrections may search your person or your property at any time without reasonable suspicion or probable cause.

[00:24:18]So, if they want to search you, they can do so. Do you understand?

[00:24:20]>> Yes.

[00:24:21]>> You shall not consume or possess any controlled substance without a current valid prescription nor any synthetic cannabinoids, which is spice, CBD oil, hemp product, or any other designer drugs.

[00:24:29]That includes delta 8, delta 9, delta whatever number comes after it. You can get it in most gas stations, but you can either consume or possess it while on probation.

[00:24:38]You shall submit to and pay for alcohol and drug tests of any kind whenever requested by probation, law enforcement, or community corrections. By signing your terms, you are specifically waiving any objection to the admissibility of those test results at a revocation hearing.

[00:24:49]You shall pay probation user fees. The initial fee is $100, the administrative fee is $100, and monthly fee is $30. The court will not find you via a court cost of $189, a public defender reimbursement fee of $200, and a drug interdiction fee of $200.

[00:25:04]You shall set up a written budget for the payment of all fees, fines, and court costs and program costs, all of which must be paid prior to being discharged from probation. You shall pay them at a rate of not less than $65 per month. That's the only way you'll get them paid off in time.

[00:25:16]You shall not drink or possess any alcoholic beverages. You shall not enter a liquor store or a bar. You shall not possess any firearms, ammunition, or dangerous weapons.

[00:25:25]You shall sign the vicious and aggressive animal policy and abide by its terms.

[00:25:30]You shall submit your DNA to law enforcement within 7 days.

[00:25:34]You shall follow all directives of the Montgomery County Probation Department, and you are ordered to go directly to probation upon your release from jail, check in, and get started with them today.

[00:25:44]You shall complete a substance abuse evaluation. You shall successfully complete all education and treatment recommendations made by probation, pay all the costs when they become due, and authorize the release of information to probation and this court. You shall complete mental health counseling as probation may direct, and authorize release of information to probation and this court. Shall perform 80 hours of community service at a rate of not less than 5 hours per month, and as a direct result of your prior criminal record.

[00:26:08]You shall successfully complete MRT and any other program as probation may direct. You shall attend at least three self-help meetings per week, obtain a sponsor, and verify your attendance. A lot of things will qualify for that, so AA, NA obviously will qualify. Attending church, Celebrate Redemption, Celebrate Recovery, meeting with a mentor, meeting with a sponsor. Talk to your probation officer about what they will accept.

[00:26:27]Do you have questions, sir?

[00:26:28]>> No, ma'am.

[00:26:29]>> Can you abide by those terms?

[00:26:31]>> Yes.

[00:26:31]>> If you should violate, and the court's not saying that you will, because I sincerely hope that that doesn't occur.

[00:26:36]But should that happen, the state can file a petition to revoke or modify your probation up to 1 year after discharge or up to 45 days after learning of a violation. Do you understand?

[00:26:44]>> Yes, your honor.

[00:26:46]>> The remaining counts and charges against you again will be dismissed. Mr. Dyer's appearance will be withdrawn at the conclusion of these proceedings. Good luck to you, sir. That is all for today.

[00:26:54]>> One credit for today.

[00:26:55]Uh 66 days, I think. 33 actual.

[00:26:58]>> Okay.

[00:27:01]>> This case runs consecutive to the Hamilton County case. All right, that's all. Thank you. Have a good week, Mr. Hall.

[00:27:10]>> This is where the judge gives the defendant a harsh reality check while exposing his long criminal history and strict probation terms.
