Background

  • Appellant Trenton McClintock pled guilty on July 13, 2009 to burglary (4th degree), receiving stolen property (5th degree), and obstructing (5th degree).
  • On September 29, 2009, he was sentenced to five years of community control with conditions including SEPTA, payment of costs, and community service, plus participation in rehabilitation programs.
  • On November 15, 2013, the State moved to revoke probation for failing to follow orders, pay monthly fees, and meet his probation officer for over a year.
  • The trial court revoked community control and imposed a 42-month prison term on McClintock.
  • McClintock argues the court treated a community control violation as a probation violation and imposed a sentence not commensurate with the offense.
  • The Fourth District held the court did not err, finding the court reserved the prison term at original sentencing and complied with statutory requirements.
