State of Tennessee v. Katie Ann Walsh

The defendant, Katie Ann Walsh, pled guilty in the Sullivan County Criminal Court to violation of a habitual traffic offender order, reckless endangerment, and felony failure to appear, all Class E felonies. The Sullivan County Criminal Court sentenced her to concurrent one-year sentences as a Range I offender for the habitual traffic offender violation and reckless endangerment and fined her $250.00 on each offense. The court sentenced her to one year as a Range I offender for the failure to appear, with a $250.00 fine, to be served consecutively to the other sentences. The defendant appeals, contending that the trial court erred in interpreting and applying applicable law in denying her any form of alternative sentencing. We affirm the judgments of the trial court.
