State of Tennessee v. Michael A. Foster

Case Number
W2000-01838-CCA-R3-CD

The Appellant, Michael A. Foster, was indicted by a Shelby County Grand Jury for possession of cocaine in excess of .5 gram, a class B felony. Under the terms of a plea agreement, Foster pled guilty to criminal attempt to possess cocaine less than .5 gram, a class D felony. The plea agreement further provided that Foster would receive a sentence of two years with the manner of service of the sentence to be determined by the trial court. Following a sentencing hearing, the trial court ordered that Foster's two-year sentence be served in confinement in the Shelby County Correction Center. On appeal, Foster argues that the trial court erred in denying an alternative sentence. Finding no error, we affirm the judgment of the trial court.
