State of Tennessee v. John Skidmore, III

Defendant, John Skidmore, III, pleaded guilty to fourth offense driving under the influence (“DUI”) and was sentenced to two years suspended to probation after serving 150 days incarcerated. Following a hearing on a probation violation warrant, the trial court partially revoked Defendant’s probation, ordered him to serve one year and six months at 100 percent, and extended his probation for an additional year. Upon Defendant’s filing a motion to correct an illegal sentence pursuant to Tennessee Rule of Criminal Procedure 36.1, the trial court amended its prior revocation order and fully revoked Defendant’s probation. Defendant appeals and argues the trial court failed to place adequate findings on the record to justify its imposition of consequences for Defendant’s probation violation. After review, we affirm the judgment of the trial court.
