The judge ruled she can now also go to work, but she can have no contact with any schools, including universities, and must take a weekly drug test.
SAN ANTONIO — The mother of the teen accused of making terroristic threats against his middle school was back in court Friday, resulting in her not being able to contact him.
Ashley Pardo’s attorney asked the court to amend her bond conditions. The 33-year-old is accused of aiding in the commission of terrorism.
Pardo is on full house arrest, only allowed to leave to meet with her attorney.
Judge Miguel Najera ruled she can now also go to work, but she can have no contact with any schools, including universities, and must take a weekly drug test.
Brought to the stand, Pardo’s defense attorney asked her about her ability to work and make ends meet in order to live.
Their goal was to enable her to bring in income to pay bills and keep her home.
They claim Pardo is not a threat, as she has no prior arrest, and her son, who is accused of making terroristic threats, was not living with her at the time.
The state argued these conditions should not change, as it is alleged Pardo aided in her son’s “violent expressions and drawings.”
Her teen son is accused of making threats to Rhodes Middle School.
She’s also accused of knowingly facilitating her child’s desire to carry out acts of mass violence.
An affidavit alleges she bought her son ammunition, tactical gear and “various army clothing.”
Records show Pardo is set to have a pre-indictment hearing on July 17.
