The 40-year-old’s behaviour “has come into question on more than one occasion” since his release from custody last December on statutory parole after serving two-thirds of a six-year federal sentence for cocaine trafficking, according to a June 14 National Parole Board decision. Harper’s release included special conditions such as a daily curfew, abstaining from alcohol and non-prescribed drugs, and avoiding deliberate contact with anyone involved in crime. About a month after his release, he was observed in a local bar with two unidentified men. No alcohol was consumed and Harper “left immediately when recognized,” the document notes. His curfew was tightened following the incident and parole officials added a more restrictive condition specifying that he not enter bars or liquor stores. “In February 2012 you requested a curfew extension for a specific location but you went elsewhere instead, lending itself to question your intentions and behaviours,” the decision stated. Then on April 13, a warrant was issued for Harper’s arrest after his urine tested positive for cocaine. “You turned yourself in and took full ownership of your drug use. You stated your cousin came over and brought the cocaine and alcohol. You denied using alcohol. You stated it was your first and only use since release. Reports note there is reason to speculate you may maintain some connections with the illicit drug trade,” the board wrote. A parole officer in the community expressed concerns about Harper not being forthright regarding his drug use, as well as his part-time work schedule, the decision notes. The parole officer “had questions relating to your finances as he wondered how you were able to maintain your lifestyle on your minimal income,” it adds. “You stated you achieved this by using your line of credit. You acknowledged you were aware of the special conditions on your statutory release. The board notes you have returned to your previous behaviour as evidenced by your use of cocaine.” Harper maintains he no longer has any affiliation with the Terror Squad, the decision noted. He will become eligible for statutory release again in late May 2013, after serving two-thirds of the remainder of his sentence.
