PAGE, Justice
(concurring).
I concur in the result reached by the court. On the record presented, while a close question, the district court did not abuse its discretion when it revoked Osborne’s probation. I also agree with the comments made by Justice Meyer in her concurrence.
I write separately to simply note that, while it is true, as the district court found, that Osborne was a high risk to re-offend, it is also true, on the record presented, that his risk of re-offense at the time his probation was revoked was no higher than it was when he was first placed on probation. If anything, his risk of re-offense may have even been less than it was at the time he was placed on probation. Notwithstanding Osborne’s marijuana use (which the district court apparently found to be a minor concern), the record appears to support Osborne’s contention that, while on probation, he had gone the longest period in his life without offending.
