Crouse v. State

The Supreme Court affirmed the order of the district court revoking Appellant’s probation and reinstating his original prison sentence. Appellant entered a no contest plea to one count of kidnapping and was sentenced to three to six years’ imprisonment, suspended in favor of three years’ probation. The State later filed a petition to revoke Appellant’s probation, asserting that Appellant had violated a probation condition by failing to obtain a required psychiatric evaluation. After finding that Appellant had violated a condition of his probation, the district court revoked Appellant’s probation and reimposed the original prison sentence. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that the district court (1) did not abuse its discretion in revoking Appellant’s probation and reinstating the original prison sentence; and (2) did not rely on improper information to reach its decision.
