Harris v. State by Arkansas Court of Appeals Book Summary

This appeal arises from a probation-revocation hearing in Crittenden County, Arkansas. Appellant argues that the trial court did not have jurisdiction to revoke his probation where the revocation occurred after the probationary term had expired and where, according to appellant, he had not been arrested during the probation period for matters relating to his probation. Alternatively, appellant argues that the trial court erred in denying his motion to dismiss where the revocation hearing did not take place within a reasonable time. We reverse and dismiss on the first point of error. On December 4, 1996, appellant pleaded guilty to possessing cocaine and received a sentence of five years' supervised probation, costs, fines, and probation fees. The probation had a number of standard conditions, among others that appellant (1) not violate any state, federal, or municipal law, and, in summary, (2) cooperate with probation officers and law enforcement agents. On July 22, 1997, the State filed a revocation petition, alleging failure to report to the probation officer and failure to pay probation fees, fines, and costs. The State sent a notice of hearing for August 18, 1997, to appellant. Appellant did not appear at that hearing. The trial court issued an alias warrant for his arrest, citing possession of a controlled substance. However, appellant was not arrested until September 19, 2000.
