State of Tennessee v. Thomas Eugene Williams

The Defendant, Thomas Eugene Williams, appeals as of right from the Knox County Criminal Court’s revocation of his probation and reinstatement of the remainder of his two-year sentence for failure to appear. Although the Defendant acknowledges that he violated the terms of his probationary sentence, he contends that the trial court abused its discretion by requiring him to serve the balance of his sentence in custody rather than ordering an alternative sentence. Following our review, we affirm the judgment of the trial court.
