Description:
Wright pled guilty to possession of an opioid drug, a severity level 5 drug felony, and criminal damage to property, a severity level 9 nonperson felony. The district court sentenced him to 46 months in prison, suspended, and then ordered 12 months supervised probation. This is a dispositional departure sentence.
The State later moved to revoke his probation, alleging he violated three conditions of his probation by (1) failing to report as directed; (2) failing to remain drug free; and (3) failing to follow the recommendations of his drug and alcohol assessment.
At a later hearing, the district court found that Wright indeed violated the terms of his probation as alleged in the State's motion to revoke. The court then revoked his probation and ordered him to serve his prison sentence. The district court stated that it was revoking Wright's probation because his probation sentence resulted from a dispositional departure.
