State of Tennessee v. Donald King, Jr.

The Defendant, Donald King, Jr., pled guilty to three drug offenses (one Class C felony, one Class D felony, and one Class A misdemeanor), two habitual motor vehicle offender offenses, driving under the influence, and felony reckless endangerment. The plea agreement included an effective five year sentence, with the manner of service to be determined by the trial court. After a hearing, the trial court denied an alternative sentence and ordered the Defendant to serve his sentence in the Department of Correction. The Defendant now appeals, contending that the trial court erred in denying him an alternative sentence. We affirm the judgment of the trial court.
