Timothy Aaron Liveley of Mountain Home, who was given five years probation in late August 2018 after entering a guilty plea to charges stemming from threats to kill his mother and burn down her house, was back in court Monday charged with violating his probation.

The third amended petition to revoke his suspended sentence in the 2018 case was filed late last month.

The petition alleges a number of violations of the terms and conditions of his probation the 40-year-old Liveley is reported to have committed, including failing to report, non-payment of fines and fees, changing residences without notifying his probation officer and evading supervision.

After hearing from both sides in the case, Circuit Judge John Putman revoked Liveley’s probation and sentenced him to four years in the Arkansas Department of Correction.

Lively is an inmate in the Baxter County Detention Center.

According to the probable cause affidavit in the original case, Liveley and his girlfriend came to his mother’s house in early August 2018.

While at the residence, Liveley was said to have become angry, cursed his mother and made threats to kill her.

At one point, Lively threw a sleeping bag under his mother’s vehicle and told her he was going to set it on fire. He said he was then going to burn down her house.

The mother reported Lively and his girlfriend eventually left her residence. Liveley sent his mother a text message, after departing, threatening to have someone assault her.

At the time, she said she intended to take out an order of protection to keep her son away from her. She told a Baxter County sheriff’s deputy she was afraid of him.

When arrested in 2018, Liveley was reported to have been hiding in a bedroom at the girlfriend’s residence.
