Defendant appeals from the trial court’s order revoking his probation and executing the sentence previously imposed for assault in the second degree. He argues that of the four grounds alleged for revocation of probation in the amended order to show cause, two did not provide a legal basis for revocation and the other two were not proven.
The order of probation entered by the court after defendant’s conviction of assault established three conditions of probation: (1) that defendant violate no laws; (2) that defendant carry out all rules and regulations established for him by the Corrections Division; and (3) that defendant pay costs in a specified amount. A form containing conditions of probation, signed by defendant, stated, "I agree not to use alcoholic beverages to excess. The excessive use of alcoholic beverages is understood to mean that it affects, disrupts or interferes with my domestic life, employment or proper community conduct.”
Because of an altercation in which defendant was involved during his probation, defendant’s probation officer orally added two new conditions of probation, ordering defendant not to frequent taverns and not to associate with "bikers.”
On April 22, 1979, defendant was involved in a fight outside a tavern in Bend. After this incident, an amended order to show cause was filed, alleging defendant’s violation of the terms of his probation in the following particulars:
"(1) The purposes of probation are not being served for the defendant did on or about April 22, 1979, in Deschutes County, Oregon, unlawfully and knowingly cause physical injury to Richard John Regan by means of deadly weapons, a knife and a pair of boots;
"(2) The purposes of probation are not being served for the defendant did on or about April 22, 1979, intentionally damage property owned by the City of Bend, Oregon, the defendant having no right to do so nor reasonable ground to believe he had such a right;
"(3) The purposes of probation are not being served for the defendant failed to abide by the counsel and direction of his probation officer by going into a tavern and by drinking alcoholic beverages in a tavern;
*70 "(4) The purposes of probation are not being served for the defendant used alcoholic beverages to excess; *****”
Defendant demurred to paragraphs (3) and (4), arguing, inter alia, that the actions alleged therein do not violate any condition specified in the order of probation. The trial court overruled this demurrer. After a hearing, the trial court entered an order revoking defendant’s probation and ordering the sentence executed. The only finding in the court’s written order pertinent to the allegations in the amended order to show cause was that "the purposes of probation are not being served.”
We first address defendant’s contention that paragraphs (3) and (4) of the amended order to show cause do not provide a legal basis for the revocation of defendant’s probation under the rule of State v. Maag,
In this case, there is no evidence that the written form containing defendant’s agreement not to use alcoholic beverages to excess was given to defendant at the time of sentencing.
There was evidence presented at the hearing from which the trial court could have found that defendant committed the acts alleged in paragraphs (1) and (2) of the amended order to show cause. This conduct would be a proper basis upon which the trial court could revoke defendant’s probation. See Barker v. Ireland,
Reversed and remanded.
Notes
This form was not designated as part of the record on appeal and is not before the court.
Whether this condition has a factual basis and bears a reasonable relationship to the defendant is not an issue here.
