    Case Number: 19-0044

    The trial court exercised its discretion to revoke defendant's probation and incarcerate him on new felony drug charges committed less than two months after his release given the likelihood that he would reoffend if not imprisoned and the absence of any documented rehabilitative needs or mitigating circumstances. The trial court recommended dismissal of defendant's appeal.
