Parole revoked for Brenton Carter after board finds criminal activity

The Committee on Parole revoked Brenton Carter’s parole at a revocation hearing on Oct. 1, 2026, after the panel found he violated condition 4 prohibiting criminal activity. Chair Pete Freeman read an arrest on 05/28/2026 for second-degree battery and noted a later misdemeanor conviction for disturbing the peace; Carter told the board he acted to defend family members and pleaded not guilty to the allegation of battery.

Carter told the panel, “The judge told me I wouldn't get violated, sir,” and the chair replied, “You committed criminal activity, and we can violate you,” reflecting the board’s role in assessing evidence and supervision compliance. The panel’s vote to revoke was recorded as a concurrence by Miss Stapleton and Mister Barra; the board found Carter guilty of violating condition 4 and not guilty on the separate fee-related condition 10. The board did not order treatment in lieu of revocation.
