Daniels v. State
Annotate this CaseIn 2009, Defendant pleaded guilty to drug possession. The district court later revoked Defendant’s probation but reinstated it on the condition that Defendant complete an in-patient treatment program. The court stated that Defendant would earn credit against his sentence for time spent in substance abuse treatment. In 2013, Defendant again violated the terms of his probation. At a hearing, the district court imposed the underlying sentence. Defendant sought credit for the time he spent in treatment, but the district court refused to award him such credit, concluding that the Supreme Court’s jurisprudence prohibited the award. The Supreme Court reversed, holding that the district court had discretion to award Defendant credit for time he spent in in-patient treatment and should have done so, in accordance with its earlier ruling, if Defendant successfully completed treatment. Remanded for a determination of whether Defendant successfully completed treatment.
