THE PEOPLE,
Plaintiff and Respondent,

v. RICHARD AMOS CARPENTER, (Humboldt County Super. Ct. No. CR1400625) Defendant and Appellant.
Defendant Richard Carpenter was required by the conditions of his parole to wear a Global Positioning System (GPS) device and charge it twice a day for one hour each time. The trial court found him in violation of his parole after he traveled away from home without his charger, allowed the battery to die, and failed to contact his parole officer. Defendant contends the trial court’s finding must be reversed because the evidence did not demonstrate a willful violation. We disagree, and we affirm.
