Allen was placed in the Drug Court Program as a result of pleading guilty to possession of a controlled dangerous substance with intent to distribute in 2006. Smith would have been able to remain on probation if he had successfully completed the Drug Court Program, Moore said.
Smith was terminated from the Drug Court Program based on a new misdemeanor violation of a protective order case, positive drug tests, and continued contact with individuals on felony probation.
Kyle Waters, assistant district attorney handling the case, said, "Neither the court system nor the district attorney's office put people in prison. People put themselves in prison as a result of their own actions."
