Following a jury trial, the defendant, William L. Hinton, was found guilty of violating an order of protection (720 ILCS 5/12-30 (West 2006)) and sentenced to 364 days in jail and fines and costs. The defendant appeals, contending that his conviction should be reversed because the State failed to prove that he had notice or knowledge of the order of protection. We reverse.
