Opinion

65943.

DECIDED APRIL 19, 1983.

Probation revocation. Ware Superior Court. Before Judge Hodges.

James D. Clark, Julie K. Fegley for appellant. C. Deen Strickland, District Attorney, Richard E. Currie, Assistant District Attorney, for appellee.

McMURRAY, Presiding Judge.

The defendant appeals the revocation of his probation. Held:

Only slight evidence of a violation of the terms and conditions of probation is necessary to revoke a probated sentence. The quality or quantity necessary for revocation is not that demanded for conviction of a crime. See Green v. State, 158 Ga. App. 864, 865 ( 282 S.E.2d 417). See also Johnson v. State, 240 Ga. 526, 527 ( 242 S.E.2d 53), affirming s.c., 142 Ga. App. 124 ( 235 S.E.2d 550). The evidence was sufficient to support the revocation of defendant's probation. See Lynch v. State, 158 Ga. App. 232, 233 ( 279 S.E.2d 537); Mobley v. State, 158 Ga. App. 508 ( 281 S.E.2d 277).

Judgment affirmed. Shulman, C. J., and Birdsong, J., concur.
