In related news, Weeks applied to have his home detention changed to curfew on August 8th. Weeks initially thought he could pull a fast one while subject to detention. As per PreTrial Services’ assessment above, Weeks seems to have accepted his fate and settled down.

Weeks’ motion for a change to curfew was granted on August 15th.
