Criminal Law-Supervised Release Revocation-Sufficiency of Evidence
Staff Report//May 13, 2026//
Defendant appealed the revocation of his supervised release, challenging the sufficiency of the evidence supporting the district court’s finding that he committed two new law violations.
Where the district court credited a law enforcement officer’s testimony, based on their training and experience, about defendant’s visible signs of intoxication and where circumstantial evidence indicated that defendant was the driver of the vehicle that fled from police, there was sufficient evidence to support the district court’s findings.
Judgment is affirmed.
