Facts

Procedural History

  • [Not applicable or not found]

Parties' Submissions

  • Appellant (Defendant): Argued that the evidence was insufficient to support his probation revocation, claiming the motorcycle was not stolen but borrowed from Michelle Salazar, and that he had driven a different motorcycle to the store (paras 2-3).
  • Appellee (State): Argued that the evidence was sufficient to support the revocation of the Defendant's probation based on his possession of a stolen motorcycle (para 2).

Legal Issues

  • Whether the evidence was sufficient to support the revocation of the Defendant's probation.

Disposition

  • The court affirmed the revocation of the Defendant's probation.

Reasons

  • Per Timothy L. Garcia, J. (Michael D. Bustamante, J., and Cynthia A. Fry, J., concurring): The court found the evidence sufficient to support the revocation of the Defendant's probation, holding that the district court did not abuse its discretion. The court acknowledged the Defendant's arguments regarding the motorcycle's ownership and the credibility of Officer Benner's testimony but concluded that these were matters for the factfinder to weigh. The court's decision was based on its determination that the factfinder was free to reject the Defendant's version of events and consider other evidence indicating a violation of the probation condition (paras 2-4).
