Arizona Supreme Court

State of Arizona, Appellant v. Troy Jason Lewis, Appellee

January 13, 2011226 Ariz. 124

Summary

The court held that Arizona law permits early termination of probation even when a probationer has not completed all community service or paid all fines and fees, provided the statutory prerequisites are satisfied. Because Lewis had demonstrated rehabilitation and the trial court reasonably concluded that continued probation would not serve the interests of justice, the court found no abuse of discretion and affirmed. The outstanding financial obligations remained enforceable through a civil judgment.
