Defendant, Marques D. Wheeler, was indicted by the Knox County Grand Jury for two counts of unlawful possession of a weapon and one count of reckless homicide. Pursuant to a negotiated plea agreement, Defendant pleaded guilty to reckless homicide and received an agreed-upon sentence of ten years for his conviction with the manner of service of his sentence to be determined by the trial court. The trial court dismissed Defendant’s unlawful possession of a weapon charges. Following a sentencing hearing, the trial court denied Defendant’s request for split confinement and ordered Defendant to serve his sentence incarcerated. Defendant appeals. Upon review, we affirm the judgment of the trial court but remand the matter for entry of a judgment form for count two.
