Posted by: Azya Thornton on Feb 4, 2025

Court: TN Court of Criminal Appeals

Attorneys 1: Steve Smith, District Public Defender; and Jonathan S. Wilson, Assistant District Public Defender, for the appellant, Michael Richard Penley.

Attorneys 2: Jonathan Skrmetti, Attorney General and Reporter; Ryan Dugan, Assistant Attorney General; Coty Wamp, District Attorney General; and Andrew Basler, Assistant District Attorney General, for the appellee, State of Tennessee.

Judge(s): MONTGOMERY

The Defendant, Michael Richard Penley, appeals from the Hamilton County Criminal Court’s probation revocation of the effective six-year sentence he received for his guilty- pleaded convictions for misdemeanor theft, two counts of evading arrest, reckless endangerment, driving while in possession of methamphetamine, attempted possession with the intent to sell methamphetamine, and reckless aggravated assault. On appeal, the Defendant contends that the trial court abused its discretion by revoking his probation and ordering him to serve the remainder of his sentence in confinement. We affirm the judgment of the trial court.
