Posted by: Azya Thornton on Jan 30, 2026

Court: TN Court of Criminal Appeals

Attorneys 1: Seth C. Chapman, Spring Hill, Tennessee, for the appellant, Lawrence Darrell Patton.

Attorneys 2: Jonathan Skrmetti, Attorney General and Reporter; Ryan P. Dugan, Assistant Attorney General; Hans Schwendimann, District Attorney General, for the appellee, State of Tennessee.

Judge(s): HOLLOWAY

Lawrence Darrell Patton, Defendant, claims that the trial court erred by ordering him to serve the balance of his sentence in confinement following the revocation of his probation. Defendant also claims that the trial court erred in partially denying his Rule 36 motion seeking pretrial jail credits. Following a thorough review of the record and applicable law, we affirm the revocation of Defendant’s probation and the trial court’s award of pretrial jail credits. We reverse the trial court’s judgment requiring Defendant to serve the balance of his sentence in confinement and remand for a new sentencing hearing.
