WOODLAND, Calif. — A Yolo County Superior Court judge denied a man’s request for release from custody Friday, Nov. 6, after a parole agent alleged 12 violations of his parole conditions, including failure to maintain GPS monitoring and a new allegation of unlawful possession of a dirk or dagger.
The accused appeared in custody before Judge David Rosenberg, who was presiding over arraignment proceedings. Deputy Public Defender Jose Gonzales was appointed to represent him and requested that the court release his client under the existing conditions of his parole.
Parole Agent Kriston Wilson opposed the request, citing multiple alleged violations, including the accused’s failure to keep his required global positioning system device charged.
Gonzales argued that his client’s inconsistent compliance with GPS monitoring requirements was related to ongoing health issues.
Rosenberg questioned that explanation, noting that failures to maintain GPS devices are often associated with people experiencing homelessness who may lack reliable access to electricity.
However, the judge observed that the accused had stable housing and therefore appeared to have the means to keep the device charged.
Wilson also alleged that the accused had committed a new offense similar to the crime underlying his original conviction.
According to Wilson, the accused was convicted in 2025 of unlawful possession of a dirk or dagger and now faces another allegation of carrying a dirk or dagger while on parole.
Wilson further stated that the accused was required to register as a sex offender and that a parole agent had discovered what Wilson described as “sex stimulating objects” during a search.
The agent did not specify in the reported proceedings how those objects constituted a violation of the accused’s parole conditions.
In total, Wilson alleged that the accused had committed 12 parole violations.
Deputy District Attorney Martha Wais largely deferred to Wilson’s assessment but expressed skepticism about the accused’s efforts to comply with supervision requirements.
Before the judge issued his ruling, Wais said it was “hard to believe that [the accused] has actually been trying to comply.”
Gonzales maintained his request for release, arguing that his client’s health circumstances should be considered when evaluating the alleged GPS monitoring violations.
Rosenberg ultimately rejected the defense’s request, finding that continued parole supervision had already represented a less restrictive alternative to incarceration.
The judge concluded that release under the existing parole conditions would not adequately address the concerns raised by the alleged violations.
Rosenberg ordered the accused to remain in custody without bail.
The accused is scheduled to return to court Dec. 1 for a prehearing conference.
