Court: TN Court of Criminal Appeals

Attorneys 1: Tas Gardner, District Public Defender; Raven Prean-Morris (on appeal), Assistant Public Defender – Appellate Division; and Timothy D. Nanney (at revocation hearing), Assistant Public Defender, for the appellant, Kelly Ray Turnbow.

Attorneys 2: Jonathan Skrmetti, Attorney General and Reporter; Elizabeth Evan, Assistant Attorney General; Neil Thompson, District Attorney General; James B. Webb and Michael Thorne, Assistant District Attorneys General, for the appellee, State of Tennessee.

Judge(s): MONTGOMERY

The Defendant, Kelly Ray Turnbow, appeals from the Carroll County Circuit Court’s probation revocation of his three-year sentence. The Defendant contends that the trial court erred by (1) finding he violated the terms of his probation based on conduct not alleged in the probation violation warrant and (2) failing to articulate its reasoning to support the full revocation of his probation. We reverse the judgment of the trial court and remand this case for additional findings consistent with this opinion.
