State of Tennessee v. David Jacob Rigsby

The defendant was charged with two counts of vehicular homicide and one count of driving under the influence. He pled nolo contendere to one count of vehicular homicide. The defendant was on probation for prior convictions at the time of his plea and sentencing. A subsequent warrant for violation of probation was issued for his probationary sentence. The trial court sentenced the defendant to six years on his vehicular homicide plea to run consecutively to his probationary terms. On appeal, the defendant argues that the trial court should not have ordered the vehicular homicide sentence to be served consecutively to his probationary sentence. We conclude that the trial court did not err, and affirm the judgment of the trial court.
