A hearing has been set for later this month in Fayette County Superior Court to consider a petition that a forger's probation be revoked.

Ricky Lee Massey is currently serving five years probation for three counts of first-degree forgery as well as habitual violator, false name, and traffic charges.

His probation is what is known as “intensive,” meaning that he has a curfew and other restrictions attached.

The petition, filed by the probation office, alleges that Massey has been arrested for additional crimes since his sentence last August and has also violated his curfew, a spokesperson for the district attorney's office said.

This hearing was to have been conducted last week, but it was continued until Feb. 24.

Also continued to that date was a bond forfeiture hearing in an unrelated case involving Michael David Haney, who faces charges of first-degree forgery and giving a false name and date of birth.

Bond forfeiture hearings also were scheduled last week for three other defendants. One was dismissed and the other two were found to already be in custody.
