The accused, diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder and substance use disorders, had experienced a difficult year with multiple positive drug screens and psychotic symptoms.

Adopting the hospital's psychiatric evidence, the Board ordered the continuation of the detention disposition but amended the community living privilege to strictly require supervised accommodation.
