On Nov. 20, the Kentucky Parole Board conducted a file review on Ronald Exantus and revoked his Mandatory Reentry Supervision, ordering he remain incarcerated. The Board's decision was released in writing. The decision comes after Exantus admitted to violating the conditions of his supervision. The Board determined per KRS 439.3106(1) that the offender's failure to comply with the conditions of supervision constituted a significant risk to prior victims or the community at large and the offender cannot be appropriately managed in the community.
Kentucky law required the Department of Corrections to release Exantus on Mandatory Reentry Supervision (KRS 439.3406) on Oct. 1, despite the Kentucky Parole Board recommending he stay incarcerated every time it was given the opportunity.
Previously issued statements on the former release of Ronald Exantus:
The Parole Board did not release Exantus on parole. Every time it had the opportunity, the Parole Board recommended Exantus stay in prison. A copy of those previous decisions can be found here.
Despite this decision, Kentucky law required the Department of Corrections to release Exantus on Mandatory Reentry Supervision (KRS 439.3406) on Oct. 1.
Per KRS 439.561, Exantus requested and was accepted by the state of Florida to serve his Mandatory Reentry Supervision there, in accordance with the Interstate Compact for Adult Offender Supervision. He was arrested in Marion County, Florida, on Oct. 12 for failing to register as a convicted felon, as outlined in his supervision conditions. A member of the Florida Commission on Offender Review held a probable cause hearing ordered Exantus to be transported back to Kentucky. Exantus returned to Kentucky on Oct. 29 and remains incarcerated at the Kentucky State Reformatory.
In 2018, a jury found Exantus guilty but mentally ill on two counts of second-degree assault, and one count of fourth-degree assault. Additional information pertaining be found on the Kentucky Offender Online Lookup: http://kool.corrections.ky.gov/.
