2d Dist.
Division/County: 
DuPage Co.

Affirmed.
Justice: 
O'MALLEY
Defendant's probation was revoked, and he was resentenced to six years' imprisonment for burglary, as he failed to complete condition of probation that he complete 90-day residency in halfway house. Defendant claimed that he missed 6 p.m. curfew and was not allowed to return late, and he did not return until several days later to retrieve his belongings. Court was within its discretion in revoking probation, as obtaining treatment was crucial to his rehabilitation, and his failure to observe the halfway house's curfew caused his discharge from facilitation. The existence of a probation violation does not depend on the character of the condition violated. (ZENOFF and BOWMAN, concurring.)
