Heading: Revocation prior to conviction

Text: Davis's next argument is that the Trial Court erred by not waiting to consider revocation of his probation until after disposition of the rape charge. This argument has consistently been rejected. Revocation on the basis of commission of a crime prior to conviction for that crime is not an abuse of discretion in all circumstances. Rudd v. State, 308 Ark. 401, 825 S.W.2d 565 (1991); Ellerson v. State, 261 Ark. 525, 549 S.W.2d 495 (1977); Barnes v. State, 254 Ark. 404, 494 S.W.2d 711 (1973). Arkansas Code Ann. § 5-4-309(d) (1987) provides a court may revoke suspension or probation at any time prior to the expiration of the period of suspension or probation.
