State of Tennessee v. Michael Desean Breland

The Defendant, Michael Desean Breland, pled guilty to two counts of theft of property, and the trial court sentenced him to two concurrent eight-year sentences to be served on probation. Subsequently, the trial court twice found the Defendant was in violation of the terms of his probation, and it revoked the Defendant’s probation and ordered him to serve the remainder of his sentence in confinement. On appeal, the Defendant contends the trial court erred when it placed his original sentence into effect rather than allow him to return to probation with the condition that he complete an alcohol abuse treatment program. After a thorough review of the record and applicable law, we affirm the trial court’s judgment.
