1. ““There are circumstances under which the Judge may issue an order revoking a suspended sentence without the necessity of a formal hearing. These are (1) When the defendant has failed to report as required by law or (2) when the defendant has absented himself from the jurisdiction without leave of the Court or (3) when the court has independent knowledge gained from observation that any of the other conditions or terms of the suspended sentence have been breached. In this event it would be the duty of the court to order the defendants suspended sentence revoked, making specific findings upon which the order suspending Judgment and Sentence is based.” id. at 931 .”

2. ““While it is not required under the provisions of Title 22 O.S.1951 § 992, the better practice would be for the trial court to require the county attorney to file a written motion and introduce competent legal evidence tending to establish a breach of the terms under which a sentence was suspended. The trial court should then specify in the order revoking the suspended sentence the reason for the revocation.””
