Deen, Presiding Judge.

Probation revocation.

1. Only slight evidence is required to revoke probation, Green v. State, 158 Ga. App. 864 (2) (282 SE2d 417) (1981), and there is ample *211evidence in the record to show that Reaves attempted to commit burglary. He was arrested while walking in an alley leading from the Piggly-Wiggly Store with a T-shaped green pipe in his hands by a police officer responding to a burglar alarm which was activated when someone attempted to pry open a door. The door handle of the store had fresh green paint scratches on it which matched those on the pipe.
