My husband was discharged from a residential program for "behavior that indicated use of a CDS." He is on parole so they have him in custody awaiting a probable cause hearing. We just got the discover and after looking it over I have concluded that have no grounds for their charge. They claimed to have 2 drug tests that were positive, a piece of foil they found in his belongings that appeared to have been used for drugs and witnesses to his behavior. The foil was never tested so what it is,or was used for is inclusive and can't be verified. The two drug tests were, to begin with, never mentioned until now, were never reported, were from almost 2 months ago, and positive only for antidepressants (which he isn't on any, so that's curious in itself, but not a CDS, nonetheless). However the drug test from the day of the alleged incident was negative, indicating he was NOT on drugs. He has been diagnosed with PTSD and bipolar disorder. The facility was unaware of this because they didn't bother reading his paperwork we provided to them upon his arrival. Therefore, they essentially dismissed him from this program for having a psychiatric episode and then produced very suspicious"evidence" to attempt to justify the discharge. I should also mention that this place has returned 6 out of 7 parolees they had in the program in the last 2 months. It seems to me that these charges should be dropped but his probable cause hearing was rescheduled for 3 weeks from now and he's already been in there a month. Is there something that can be filed or a letter that can be written to expedite consideration of this so he can be released sooner than later? I'm not sure how something like this would be handled in an administrative hearing. They are allowing me to be his representative in this matter.
