If he were on parole or probation, that would also be listed on the MDOC page, the same as his probation sentence for recieving stolen property. Unless someone updating the system dropped the ball. I'm looking for it now, but last night, I had a court case of his where he was fighting his conviction on possession of cocaine and heroin. He won the fight and the heroin conviction was removed from his record. But the court papers are still out there. Give me a few and I'll have the link. I might have to switch to my laptop to find it.
Never mind, here it is:

I'm going to summarize these to the best of my ability. In March of 2007, his appeal on the convictions that we already have heard about went to court. He had been convicted in a jury trial of the crimes we have seen linked a million times, but also possession of between 25 and 50 grams of heroin. He was sentenced as a habitual offender, and that got him a minimum of two years that he had to serve. He tried to say that there was not enough evidence to have convicted him of being a felon in possession, or having a firearm during a felony crime. The court did not agree. Apparently when he was arrested for the charges, it was during a police raid on a known drug house. Dandre was found standing naked in the living room of the drug house when officers entered the house. He ran, they followed, and caught him in a bedroom, on the bed, trying to throw drugs out the window. In that bedroom, they also found more drugs and a gun under the bed and almost $500 in cash. Dandre admitted that he lived at the drug house and also at another house. That admission is what led to the court's decision that the gun was his and that he had access to it while committing another felony, which would be the drug possession. Those drugs likely were heroin and cocaine, not just cocaine, as shows in his records.
When he went in front of the jury, they were not instructed correctly as to the stipulations for convicting him of possession of both substances, and although his defense did not object during the trial, on appeal, they vacated the heroin conviction. It wasn't clear, even to the court, how much he had in terms of drugs, since only a portion of the drugs found with him were weighed, and both the cocaine and heroin weighed and recorded by LE were in amounts much less than 25 grams. It appears the full amounts were never weighed by LE.
So really, all they know for sure is that this guy was found in a drug house, nekkid as a jaybird, and caught in close proximity to a firearm, with drugs in his possession that could have been a small amount for personal use, or a large amount for distribution. No one knows.
Haven't seen moderator nursebeme here this weekend, but she lives nearby, too.
