P. v. Tway CA4/3
Defendant Jeffrey Michael Tway pleaded guilty to failing to register as a sex offender. The trial court imposed a two-year prison term. While Tway was released on parole, the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitations Division of Adult Parole Operations (the Department) filed a petition to revoke his parole. The Department alleged that Tway had violated two parole conditions: using methamphetamine and disabling his GPS tracking device. The court found the allegations to be true, revoked Tway’s parole, and committed him to county jail for 180 days.
Tway argues that the trial court erred by failing to sustain his demurrer to the revocation petition, there was insufficient evidence to support a “willful” GPS parole violation, and the court abused its discretion by imposing a 180-day jail term.
We disagree and affirm the judgment.
