State of Tennessee v. Timothy Jerome Washington, Alias Timothy Jerome Hughlett

Case Number
E2008-00515-CCA-R3-CD

The Defendant, Timothy Jerome Washington, alias Timothy Jerome Hughlett, appeals the revocation of his two community corrections sentences by the Criminal Court for Hamilton County. The defendant initially pled guilty to theft of property valued over $1,000, a Class D felony, for which he received a two-year suspended sentence in the community corrections program. While on community corrections, he pled guilty to theft of property valued over $10,000, a Class C felony, and he received a four-year suspended sentence to be served in community corrections consecutively to the two-year sentence. The trial court found that he violated the terms of both community corrections sentences, revoked the defendant’s sentences, and ordered him to serve the effective six-year sentence in the Department of Correction. On appeal, the defendant contends that the trial court was without jurisdiction to revoke the two-year sentence and that the trial court erred in revoking the sentences because the defendant did not “willfully” violate the terms of his sentence. We affirm the judgment revoking the defendant’s community corrections sentence in case 258929, vacate the judgment revoking the community corrections sentence in case 255487 because the sentence had expired, and remand the case for correction of the amended judgment in case 258929.
