Reverses Delgado’s conviction for false informing as a Class A misdemeanor. Finds the state did not present sufficient evidence to support Delgado’s conviction for false informing.

Finally, finds the bad reputation & influence condition is unconstitutionally vague, and the inmate and driver’s license conditions are not reasonably related to the goals of probation. Reverses and remands with instructions for the trial court to clarify all three of these conditions with greater specificity. Attorney for appellant: James Harper.
