State of Tennessee v. Larry D. McGuire

Appellant, Larry D. McGuire, was indicted by the Maury County Grand Jury for felon in possession of a handgun. After a guilty plea, Appellant was sentenced to two years in incarceration as a Range II, multiple offender. After several months in incarceration, Appellant was granted determinate release. Subsequently, a probation violation warrant was filed. Appellant’s probation was partially revoked for time served and Appellant was reinstated to a new, two-year term of probation. A second probation violation warrant was filed. After a hearing, Appellant’s probation was revoked. The trial court ordered him to serve his sentence in confinement. Appellant appeals, claiming that the trial court erred in determining that he violated his probation and ordering that he serve the sentence in incarceration. After a review of the record and authorities, we conclude that the trial court did not abuse its discretion in revoking Appellant’s probation. Consequently, the judgment of the trial court is affirmed.
