Mark Dalton's Parole Revoked, Will Return to Texas Prison

VAN NUYS, CALIF. - The Texas Department of Corrections has revoked Mark Dalton's parole. He is currently serving a 45-day sentence in Denton County Jail and will then return to a Texas prison when that sentence is fulfilled, September 24. He is serving the jail sentence for two misdemeanor charges to which he pleaded no contest in August.

David Forest of David Forest Entertainment, for whom Dalton is a model, says of Dalton's misfortunes, "The terrible thing about Mark's latest legal drama is that the gal who accused him of assaulting her and interfering with her 911 call vanished. She had signed an affidavit stating that she made the whole thing up. But in order to validate that, they needed her to appear in court. Without her, they didn't have a leg to stand on. Mark really got screwed (excuse the pun), thus he lost his parole and will probably be locked up for three to six months."

It is not known how long Dalton will have to spend in the Texas prison for violating his parole. He was sent to prison in November 2004 with a five-year sentence, when a "domestic dispute caused his probation (from a drug-related offense) to be revoked."
