United States v. Rhone, No. 10-2110 (8th Cir. 2011)
Annotate this CaseThe district court revoked defendant's term of supervised release after finding that he violated the following four conditions of his supervised release: (1) that he submit to drug testing; (2) that he not possess a firearm, ammunition, destructive device, or any other dangerous weapon; (3) that he not possess a controlled substance; and (4) that he not associate with persons engaged in criminal activity. Defendant appealed, arguing that the government failed to prove the three most serious violations and that the district court did not purport to revoke his release based solely on a failure to comply with drug testing. The court held that the district court did not clearly err in finding that defendant possessed a firearm and because this finding mandated revocation, it was unnecessary to consider the other issues raised by defendant.
Court Description: Criminal case - Criminal law. Evidence was sufficient to prove the allegation that defendant violated his supervised release for possessing a firearm.
