    He is on probation. He has a probation officer who should be informed of this and violating him. Why is the probation department allowing him to do the same crime again and not violating him like they would with any other person on probation? One of the reasons you are put on probation is for the state to monitor you so you do not commit the same crime again. We should be interviewing his probation officer and the DOIC as to why they would not throw hjim back in prison for the rest of his probation for an obvious violation.
