State of Tennessee v. Brenda Haynes Jackson Claughton

Case Number
M2015-01467-CCA-R3-CD

The appellant, Brenda Haynes Jackson Claughton, pled guilty in the Dickson County Circuit Court to two counts of felony theft and received concurrent, four-year sentences to be served on supervised probation.  The trial court also ordered that she pay $36,000 restitution.  On appeal, the appellant argues that the trial court abused its discretion by revoking probation for her failure to pay restitution when the evidence shows that she had no ability to pay it.  Based upon the record and the parties’ briefs, we affirm the judgment of the trial court.
