The filing stated that Petty’s recent conduct “raises concerns” over his “willingness to comply with the Court’s orders,” and that Petty’s probation officer “believes placement in the Location Monitoring Program will effectively allow for closer monitoring of Mr. Petty’s activities, limit his movements, provide a sanction for his non-compliance,” and “encourage him to reflect upon and reevaluate his current status in the community.”

Petty’s remarks violated the probation which he was sentenced to in July 2022. At the time he wassentenced to three years probationand a year of in-home detention, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office, after pleading guilty to failing to register as a sex offender in the state of California in 2020.
He was required to register as he was convicted of the first-degree attempted rape of a 16-year-old girl in 1995, for which he wassentenced to 18 to 54 monthsand ultimately served four years in prison.
