HARPER v. THE STATE.

PANNELL, Judge.

"Only slight evidence is required to authorize the revocation of a sentence being served on probation. Waters v. State, 80 Ga. App. 104 ( 55 S.E.2d 76); Allen v. State, 78 Ga. App. 526 ( 51 S.E.2d 571)." Faulkner v. State, 101 Ga. App. 889 ( 115 S.E.2d 393).

"When, after due notice, the trial judge conducts a hearing upon the question of revocation of a probationary sentence, he is not bound by the same degree of evidence as in the first instance, but has a wide discretion. Where there is some evidence to support the judgment revoking such probationary sentence, the judgment will be affirmed by this court." Atkinson v. State, 82 Ga. App. 414 ( 61 S.E.2d 212).

Nor is it necessary to show that the defendant has been charged or convicted of a crime for the acts constituting the violation of probation. Wright v. State, 88 Ga. App. 868 ( 78 S.E.2d 61); Rowland v. State, 124 Ga. App. 495 ( 184 S.E.2d 494); Dickson v. State, 124 Ga. App. 406 ( 184 S.E.2d 37).

The evidence was amply sufficient to authorize the revocation of probation in the present case.

Judgment affirmed. Eberhardt, P. J., and Stolz, J., concur.

PANNELL, Judge.
