  • Probation included a no-contact order, drug testing, employment requirements, and inpatient drug treatment; he completed inpatient treatment but violated other terms.
  • Probation violations included contacting victims, positive cocaine tests, and electronic monitoring violations, leading to multiple continuances and eventual probation revocation.

  • On August 30, 2013, Quarterman moved for jail-time credit, seeking 274 days; the court granted partial credit totaling 142 days and denied credit for inpatient treatment.
