Posted by: Stacey Shrader Joslin on Apr 17, 2026

Court: TN Court of Criminal Appeals

Attorneys 1: Gerald L. Gulley, Jr. (on appeal); Donald T. Christmas (at revocation hearing), Knoxville, Tennessee, for the appellant, Joshua F. Linebarger.

Attorneys 2: Jonathan Skrmetti, Attorney General and Reporter; Garrett D. Ward, Assistant Attorney General; Charme P. Allen, District Attorney General; and Marissa Pecora, Assistant District Attorney General, for the appellee, State of Tennessee.

Judge(s): EASTER

Defendant, Joshua F. Linebarger, pleaded guilty to two counts of felony theft, reckless burning, and assault. For his convictions, the trial court ordered Defendant to serve an effective ten-year sentence on supervised probation. Less than two months after the judgments were entered, a violation of probation warrant was issued. Defendant submitted to the violations, and the trial court held a hearing to determine the consequence of his violations. The trial court fully revoked Defendant’s probation and ordered Defendant to serve his sentences. Defendant appeals. Having reviewed the record and the briefs of the parties, we affirm the trial court’s judgments.
