DeMillard v. State

Appellant pled guilty to burglary and attempted assault on a peace officer and nolo contendere to four counts of interference with custody. Appellant received suspended sentences in favor of supervised probation. Thereafter, the State filed a fourth petition to revoke Appellant's probation. After a probation revocation hearing, the district court found Appellant had violated the terms of his probation and, accordingly, revoked Appellant's probation. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that did not abuse its discretion in (1) revoking Appellant's probation where Appellant failed to prove his conduct in violation of the conditions of his probation was not willful; and (2) ordering involuntary administration of medication to restore Appellant's competency for the probation revocation proceedings.
