1Opinion of the Court
Bowles, Justice.
On June 9, 1978, Richard Brainard entered a plea of guilty in Thomas County Superior Court to the charge of violation of the Georgia Controlled Substances Act. The trial court fined him and placed him on probation for five years under Georgia’s First Offender Act. On May 17, 1979, the trial court revoked Brainard’s probation because of his involvement in a Florida “pot plane” incident and sentenced him to a term of ten'years’ imprisonment. The State of Georgia then brought an action to recover the cost of prosecution under Code Ann. § 27-2801.
