Opinion

67089.

DECIDED OCTOBER 20, 1983.

Probation revocation. DeKalb Superior Court. Before Judge Henley.

John O. Ellis, Jr., for appellant.

Robert E. Wilson, District Attorney, Michael M. Sheffield, James M. McDaniel, Assistant District Attorneys, 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 State v. Brinson, 248 Ga. 380 ( 283 S.E.2d 463); 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.
