John W. DOZIER, Appellant–Defendant, v. STATE of Indiana, Appellee–Plaintiff.
In the present case, this was not Dozier's first probation violation for failing to make his support payments. Since his conviction in 2005, when payment of his child support was made a condition of his probation, he had several prior revocations that resulted in him serving portions of his previously suspended sentence. Dozier did not learn from the previous violations and continued to fail to follow the condition of his probation requiring him to pay his child support payments. We do not find the trial court's sentencing decision to be against the logic and effect of the facts and circumstances of the case. The trial court did not abuse its discretion in ordering Dozier to serve 575 days of his previously suspended sentence. Affirmed.
