Adrianna Norman was dishonorably discharged from probation after being under court supervision for over four years and recently admitting to multiple probation violations.
Norman was originally arrested for a category E felony drug use charge in Feb. 2014, and has been under supervision and jurisdiction of the court in some form since then, for almost 4.5 years, according to her legal counsel.
Her counsel went on to request that out of the multiple options the court has for the case including revoking probation to sending Norman to carry out her original prison sentence, asked for the original sentence to be modified to include just the four and a half years she was been under supervision.
The prosecuting legal counsel with the state argued for the probation to be revoked, in which Norman would have been sent to carry out the original prison sentence of 15-32 months in prison, with 132 days credit for time served.
Norman explained that she is employed, with two jobs and that she takes full responsibility for her actions resulting in the probation violations, with the explanation of her also experiencing a lot of emotional trauma.
“I let my emotions get out of control, I’ve tried very hard and have been trying, my kids don’t deserve that but I want to end that chapter, I ask for mercy as far as everything goes,” said Norman
Judge Michael Montero said that in the time she has been under court supervision, she has utilized drug court, after care, family court and inpatient treatment, along with the services that are provided in those programs.
“I wonder if there’s a jurisdiction in Nevada that would give so many resources to a category E felon, it sure seems like we tried a lot,” said Montero.
Montero agreed that she had already served a lengthy time under court supervision and ordered that she be dishonorably discharged from probation, meaning that she would not have to carry out the underlying prison sentence for this charge.
“You’re going to have to figure this out, I don’t know that the division of parole and probation needs to be further responsible for you,” said Montero. “If you don’t figure this out, I’ll see you again.
