Les Coleman was incarcerated in May, 2003 for a probation violation. He
fled the jurisdiction suffering with several diagnosed mental disorders,
including disassociative Amnesia. He irrationally fled to New Orleans,
February, 2002 while awaiting a overseas job assignment. With the
assistance of family, and friends he received clinical treatment as an
out-patient at Oshners, New Orleans. He was arrested at the family home in
Florida in May, 2003 and returned to Kentucky. Due to intensive private
therapy and the two years of incarcerated cognitive treatment by DOC, Mr.
Coleman no longer suffers with the mental afflictions that contributed to
his irrational behavior. A complete in-resident mental evaluation was
requested by the Parole Board in August, 2003. The results reflects Mr.
Coleman’s stable reliability, and non-criminal attitude. He does not
require medication.
