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 SE2d 417). See also Johnson ‍‌​​​​​​‌​‌‌‌‌​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​‌​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​‌‌‌​​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌​​‍v. State, 240 Ga. 526, 527 (242 SE2d 53), affirming s.c. 142 Ga. App. 124 (235 SE2d 550). The evidence was sufficient to support the ‍‌​​​​​​‌​‌‌‌‌​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​‌​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​‌‌‌​​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌​​‍revocation of defendant’s probation. See State v. Brinson, 248 Ga. 380 (283 SE2d 463); Lynch v. State, 158 Ga. App. 232, 233 (279 SE2d 537); Mobley v. State, 158 ‍‌​​​​​​‌​‌‌‌‌​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​‌​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​‌‌‌​​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌​​‍Ga. App. 508 (281 SE2d 277).

Judgment affirmed.

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