A Bradenton man sentenced to court probation as part of a no-contest driving-under-the-influence plea was determined in violation of his probation — by failing to sign up.
Christopher M. Phillips, 20, was re-sentenced Aug. 31 to a re-instated probation, including supervised release with daily calls-ins.
Twelfth Circuit Judge Doug Henderson had ordered a 12-month probation May 10.
A probation officer filed a sworn statement June 9 stating Phillips failed to report as required by Henderson’s order. In July, a warrant was issued for Phillips’ arrest.
He spent 26 days in the Manatee County jail before the re-sentencing.
Phillips was arrested for DUI in October 2015 by Holmes Beach police after being pulled over in the 700 block of Manatee Avenue for speeding.
Phillips was ordered to complete a DUI counter-attack program with evaluation and treatment, if necessary, participate in a victim-impact panel and serve 50 hours of public service.
Henderson’s order also suspended Phillips’ driver’s license and assessed him more than $1,850 in court costs and fines.
