State v. Forbis

[¶ 1] John Forbis appeals the judgment of the Superior Court (Cumberland County, Warren, J.) finding that he had violated the terms of his probation, revoking probation and imposing a jail sentence pursuant to 17-A M.R.S.A. § 1206 (Supp.2003). Forbis asserts that prior to the time of the events leading to the revocation of his probation, his probation had been terminated as a result of a plea agreement and court order, and that the court had no authority to retroactively amend that prior order to reinstate his probation. We agree and vacate the judgment. •
