Text: On January 18, 1989, Bailey was arraigned on a felony charge of intentionally damaging property at a Belle Fourche motel in violation of SDCL 22-34-1. Bailey pled guilty. The court suspended imposition of sentence and placed Bailey on 5 years probation on the condition that he obey all federal and state laws and municipal ordinances and take medication as prescribed by Ft. Meade. The purpose of the medication Bailey was receiving from the Ft. Meade Veteran's Administration Medical Center was to control the onset of psychotic episodes caused by a bipolar mood disorder. Bailey would periodically receive injections of the drug Haldol at Ft. Meade, and, in the interim between Haldol injections, would take the drug Ativan orally. The property damage at the Belle Fourche motel was associated with Bailey's failure to take his prescribed medication. On April 18, 1989, Bailey began to feel the onset of another psychotic episode. His next Haldol injection was not scheduled until the following day and the Ativan was not working. Bailey attempted to persuade emergency room personnel at a Spearfish hospital and the Ft. Meade V.A. Center to administer his Haldol injection early, but both refused. The next day Bailey was arrested for disorderly conduct during a loud public argument with a friend in Spearfish. On the night of his arrest, Bailey was without any medication and attacked a guard at the Lawrence County Jail in Deadwood. Bailey was indicted for aggravated assault against the jailer in violation of SDCL 22-18-1.1(3). On May 4, 1989, the court services officer assigned to supervise Bailey's probation on the earlier damage to property charge petitioned the court to revoke Bailey's probation based on the aggravated assault charge. During the summer of 1989, Bailey was examined by Dr. Johnson of the South Dakota Human Services Center in Yankton pursuant to a court order, and Dr. Manlove of Rapid City, at the request of Bailey's counsel. Both psychiatrists diagnosed Bailey's bipolar mood disorder, and both reported that he was capable of assisting in his own defense and knew right from wrong on April 19. Following a Probation Revocation Hearing on September 22, 1989, the court ruled that Bailey violated the terms of his probation. Bailey was evaluated a second time at the Human Services Center in Yankton to determine his competence. The examining psychiatrist, Dr. Lee, affirmed that Bailey was competent to stand trial. On October 30, 1989, Bailey was permitted to withdraw his January 18, 1989, guilty plea to the property damage charge and to substitute a plea of guilty but mentally ill. SDCL 23A-7-2(5), 23A-27-38. The court revoked Bailey's probation, sentenced him to four years' imprisonment for intentional damage to property in violation of SDCL 22-34-1, and ordered that he receive psychiatric help while in prison consistent with the provisions of SDCL 23A-27-38. The court entered Supplemental Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law to the effect that Bailey was mentally illbut neither insane nor incompetent to stand trialat all times relevant to this proceeding. The aggravated assault charge was subsequently dropped. Bailey appeals the order revoking his probation on two grounds: (1) lack of adequate factual basis for the trial court's determinations, and (2) lack of sufficiently informed consent by Bailey to the pleas.
