State of Tennessee v. Lamont Christopher Brown

The Appellant, Lamont Christopher Brown,1 appeals the order of the Madison County Circuit Court revoking his probation. In January 2006, in two separate cases, Brown entered guilty pleas to misdemeanor possession of cocaine, misdemeanor possession of a Schedule IV controlled substance, Class C felony sale of cocaine, and two counts of Class B sale of .5 grams or more of cocaine and received an effective sentence of ten years in the Department of Correction. The sentences were suspended, and Brown was placed on supervised probation. In  September 2006, a probation violation warrant was filed, in both cases, alleging numerous violations of the terms of Brown’s probation. Following a hearing, Brown’s probation was revoked, resulting in the reinstatement of his original sentences, which were ordered to be served in confinement. On appeal, Brown argues that “the trial court erred in revoking [Brown’s] probation and ordering that [Brown] serve his sentence.”  Finding no abuse of discretion, the judgment of the trial court is affirmed.
