Court: TN Court of Criminal Appeals

Attorneys 1: Donna Orr Hargrove, District Public Defender, William J. Harold (on appeal and at plea) and Jeffre Goldtrap (at plea), Assistant District Public Defenders, for the appellant, Tammy Cothren Dabbs.

Attorneys 2: Jonathan Skrmetti, Attorney General and Reporter; Edward Alan Groves, Jr., Assistant Attorney General; Robert J. Carter, District Attorney General; and Amber L. Sandoval, Assistant District Attorney General, for the appellee, State of Tennessee.

Judge(s): HOLLOWAY

Tammy Cothren Dabbs, Defendant, pleaded guilty to possession of 0.5 grams or more of methamphetamine with intent to sell, and the trial court sentenced her to eight years suspended to probation. The trial court subsequently issued a probation violation warrant and multiple amended warrants alleging violations of probation Rule 8 based upon Defendant’s multiple positive drug tests for amphetamine and methamphetamine. At an evidentiary hearing, Defendant admitted to violating the terms of her probation, and the trial court determined the consequences of the violation. Defendant appeals, claiming that the trial court erred by ordering her to serve the balance of her eight-year sentence. Following a review of the record and applicable law, we affirm the judgment of the trial court
