(III) Has removed or tampered with an electronic monitoring device that the
parolee is required to wear as a condition of his or her parole; except that, before
making such an arrest, the community parole officer shall first determine that the
notification of removal or tampering was not merely the result of an equipment
malfunction.

(b) A community parole officer shall present to the district attorney of the
proper judicial district for the purpose of prosecution all the facts ascertained by
the community parole officer and all other papers, documents, or evidence
pertaining thereto that the community parole officer has in his or her possession for
any parolee found in possession of a weapon pursuant to section 18-12-108, C.R.S.

(c) A hearing relating to such revocation shall be held, unless a board
member is advised that a criminal charge is still pending or where the parolee does
not request revocation, in which case the hearing shall be delayed until a
disposition concerning the criminal charge is reached.

(2) If the hearing officer or board member conducting the hearing pursuant
to subsection (1) of this section finds the parolee guilty of the conduct charged but
decides against revoking the parole of the parolee, the record of such hearing shall
be reviewed within fifteen days of the decision by two members of the board,
exclusive of the board member who conducted the hearing, who may overturn the
decision and order the parole to be revoked.
