1. “- In her fifth assignment, the defendant contends that her sentence .is illegal because the revocation of her probation did not occur until-after she had served all of her probation. On January 17, 1991, the defendant was placed on supervised probation for five years. Therefore, her probation, was -to conclude on January 17,1996, unless it was revoked. La.Code Crim.P. art. 899(D) states the following: When a warrant for. a defendant’s arrest or a summons for defendant’s appearance is issued under Paragraph A or a detainer is issued under Paragraph B of this Article, the running of the period of probation shall cease as of the time the warrant, summons, or detainer is issued. The affidavit and motion at issue were filed on January 16, 1996, and a summons to the defendant was issued, on the same day. The filing of the affidavit and issuance of the summons pursuant thereto had the effect of stopping the running of the period of probation. Thus, we find no merit in this assignment of error.”
