wilful failure to pay state court-ordered child support payments is reversed and remanded where the district court erred

US v. Brazell, No. 06-30102
A failure to pay child support constitutes a continuing offense. A sentence for wilful failure to pay state court-ordered child support payments is reversed and remanded where the district court erred in its application of a two-point enhancement at sentencing because there was insufficient evidence to conclude that defendant had violated a statute while under a criminal sentence.
