State of Tennessee v. Terry Dwight Mooningham, Jr.

The Defendant, Terry Dwight Mooningham, Jr., was found guilty by a Bedford County Circuit Court jury of driving under the influence (DUI), fourth offense, a Class E felony; evading arrest, a Class D felony; driving with a revoked license, a Class A misdemeanor; and violation of the implied consent law, a Class A misdemeanor. See T.C.A. §§ 55-10-401 (2006) (amended 2011), 39-16-603 (2010), 55-50-504 (2006), 55-10-406 (2006). He was sentenced as a Range II, multiple offender to four years’ confinement for the DUI conviction, eight years’ confinement for evading arrest, eleven months and twenty-nine days’ confinement for driving with a revoked license, and six months’ confinement for violation of the implied consent law. The DUI and evading arrest convictions were ordered to be served consecutively for an effective twelve-year sentence. On appeal, the Defendant contends that the evidence was insufficient to support his DUI conviction and that his sentences are excessive. We affirm the judgments of the trial court.
