State of Tennessee v. Marquentis Johnson

The defendant, Marquentis Johnson, pleaded guilty on June 20, 2005 to two counts of theft over $1,000, Class D felonies, and one count of theft over $500, a Class E felony, pursuant to a negotiated plea agreement. The trial court sentenced him as a standard offender to four years for each count of theft over $1,000 and two years for theft over $500, to be served concurrently for an effective sentence of four years in Community Corrections. The Circuit Court of Madison County revoked the defendant's community corrections sentence and resentenced him as a standard offender to serve each sentence consecutively, for an effective sentence of ten years, in the Tennessee Department of Correction. On appeal, the defendant challenges the circuit court's imposition of consecutive sentencing. Following our review, we affirm the judgment of the circuit court.
