Bentley H. Massey asked the court Friday to consider allowing Tosha Rochelle Dailey to change her terms of release to home custody without electronic monitoring.

“The defendant was placed on home incarceration and has been participating in the location monitoring program,” Massey wrote in his request. “She has complied with all rules and regulations of said program and all drug screens have been negative. However, due to her remote location, her telephone system is not working properly on a consistent basis and this is not believed to be deliberate or the defendant’s fault.

“Due to this and her exemplary adjustment to supervision thus far, we recommend her conditions be modified to include home detention without electronic monitoring. The probation office will monitor this condition through random phone calls and home visits.”

Massey said other than the requested change, Dailey will continue to be restricted to her residence at all times except for the following reasons:

• Employment

• Education

• Religious services

• Medical services, substance abuse, or mental health treatment

• Attorney visits, court appearances, court-ordered obligations, or other activities approved in advance by the probation officer.
