Justice: 
O'BRIEN
Defendant was convicted of intimidation for, while a police sergeant, threatened to not respond to 911 calls from racetrack while two former police officers worked there. Defendant was sentenced to two years probation which included 21 conditions, including condition that he become current on his child support. The condition that Defendant support his dependents is specifically enumerated in section 5-6-3(b) of Unified Code of Corrections. Thus, court's imposition of condition that he become current on support is authorized by statute, without a finding that condition was reasonably related to underlying offense. (CARTER, concurring; WRIGHT, specially concurring.)
