ST. THOMAS — At a supervised release revocation hearing Thursday, Rasheem Morton, 41, was found to have violated the terms and conditions of his supervised release, United States Attorney for the District of the Virgin Islands Gretchen C.F. Shappert announced.
Morton was placed on supervised release in May 2019, after he completed his 32-month prison sentence for money laundering conspiracy.
At the Thursday hearing, District Court Judge Robert A. Molloy found that Morton violated the terms of his supervised by testing positive for a controlled substance on five separate occasions; traveling outside of the judicial district without obtaining permission from his probation officer; and failing to report to his probation officer that law enforcement had apprehended him for speeding.
After making his findings, Judge Molloy revoked Morton’s term of supervised release and imposed a sentence of 6 months’ home detention, to be followed by an additional two-year term of supervised release.
Assistant United States Attorney Kyle Payne represented the United States in today’s hearing.
