Court | United States Court of Appeals (Georgia) |
James H. Lohr, Fort Oglethorpe, for appellant.
Danny Ray Bearden appeals the revocation of his probation. He enumerates as error the revocation of his probation on a ground not asserted in the petition to revoke his probation. He also enumerates a violation of the Constitution in the trial court's revocation of his probation on the ground that he had failed to pay the fine and restitution assessed.
On October 8, 1980 appellant pled guilty to the offenses of theft by receiving stolen property and burglary. He was placed on probation as a first offender pursuant to Code Ann. § 27-2727. For the offense of theft by receiving stolen property, he was required to serve one year on probation upon payment of $200.00 restitution, said restitution to be paid within four months of October 8, 1980. For the offense of burglary he was required to serve three years on probation upon payment of a fine of $500.00 and restitution in the amount of $50.00 appellant was required to pay $200.00 of the fine almost immediately and $350.00 comprising fine and restitution within four months of October 8, 1980. The state moved on May 27, 1981 to revoke appellant's probation on the grounds that he had committed a burglary on May 10, 1981 and also that he had failed to pay the $550.00 balance of the foregoing fine and restitution. Following a hearing on the petition on June 3, 1981, the trial court found that appellant had not paid the required fine and restitution and also found that appellant had failed to report to his probation officer as directed." The trial court revoked appellant's probation and sentenced him to concurrently serve five years for the offense of burglary and three years for the offense of theft by receiving stolen property.
1. Appellant testified during the course of his revocation hearing that he was unemployed and could not pay any portion of the $550.00 balance of the fine and restitution. Simmons v. State, 156 Ga.App. 336, 337, 274 S.E.2d 726 (1980); see also Simpson v. State, 154 Ga.App. 775(2), 270...
