Description:
Melvern, Arkansas probation revocation criminal defense lawyer represented the Defendant.
Dennis Keeth appeals a finding that he was $70 behind paying his supervision fees when the court revoked his probation for violating four conditions of release. At the revocation hearing, Keeth admitted that he had repeatedly violated three conditions, including by committing new offenses punishable by imprisonment. He disputed an allegation that delinquent supervision fees (and other alleged conduct) violated a fourth condition. The circuit court found the State proved that violation too, and ordered Keeth to pay the $70 on release from custody. But Keeth's probation officer, the only witness, said that Keeth was paid up. Keeth was the opposite of behind, because he had paid $70 ahead of what he owed. So the finding that Keeth remained delinquent was an error, and we modify the revocation sentencing order to remove the note "DEF. STILL OWES $70 SUPERVISION FEES.
