State v. Corkum, 224 N.C. App. 129 (Dec. 4, 2012)
The trial court erred by denying credit for the time the defendant was incarcerated pending a revocation hearing on his first violation of post-release supervision. Under G.S. 15-196.1, the trial court was required to credit the defendant with eight days he spent in custody awaiting a revocation hearing for his first violation of post-release supervision when the defendant’s sentence later was activated upon the revocation of his post-release supervision following his second violation.
