An amended affidavit of violation of probation (VOP) was filed in January 2017 that alleged one violation of condition 2, two violations of condition 7, two violations of special condition 3, one violation of special condition 7, and one violation of special condition 8. At the revocation hearing, the trial court stated that it would delete the violation of special condition 7, and Allen then admitted to violating the conditions in the amended VOP affidavit. But the written revocation order states that Allen admitted all conditions stated in the January 2017 amended VOP affidavit.
