Posted by: Azya Thornton on May 4, 2026

Court: TN Court of Criminal Appeals

Attorneys 1: Matthew Mitchell, District Public Defender, and M. Tyler Howard, Assistant District Public Defender, for the appellant, William Lloyd Smith, III.

Attorneys 2: Jonathan Skrmetti, Attorney General and Reporter; Park Huff, Assistant Attorney General; W. Ray Crouch, Jr., District Attorney General; and Stanley Brooks, Assistant District Attorney General, for the appellee, State of Tennessee.

Judge(s): AYERS

Defendant, William Lloyd Smith, III, pled guilty to one count of possession of methamphetamine with intent to sell and received an agreed sentence of eight years as a Range I offender, to be served on probation. Following a hearing on a warrant for violation of his probation, the trial court revoked Defendant’s probation and ordered him to serve the balance of his original sentence incarcerated. Defendant appeals, arguing that the trial court erred in revoking probation rather than allowing him furlough to a residential treatment facility previously approved by his probation officer. Following a review of the entire record, the briefs of the parties, and the applicable law, we affirm the judgment of the trial court.
