State of Tennessee v. John Brandon Gold

The Defendant, John Brandon Gold, pleaded guilty to violating the sex offender registry, a Class E felony.  The trial court sentenced the Defendant, a Range II persistent offender, to five years plus ninety days, to be served at 45%.  The trial court denied the Defendant an alternative sentence.  On appeal, the Defendant contends that his sentence is excessive.  After a thorough review of the record and applicable authorities, we affirm the trial court’s judgment.
