State of Tennessee v. Spencer T. Gibson

Defendant, Spencer T. Gibson, pled guilty in the Davidson County Criminal Court to the offense of robbery and received a sentence of eight years on supervised probation. We note that Defendant agreed to be sentenced outside of the statutory range in exchange for the reduced charge. On February 9, 2016, a probation violation warrant was issued. Following a hearing, the trial court revoked probation and ordered Defendant to serve the balance of his sentence by incarceration. On appeal, Defendant argues that the trial court abused its discretion in revoking his probation and ordering him to serve his eight-year sentence in confinement. We affirm the judgment of the trial court.
