State of Tennessee v. Alex L. Vance

The Defendant, Alex L. Vance, pled guilty to reckless aggravated assault, a Class D felony, and reckless endangerment, a Class A misdemeanor. Sentencing was left to the discretion of the trial court. The trial court sentenced him to three years for the felony conviction and ordered that he serve four months in the county jail, with the remainder to be served on probation. He was also sentenced to a concurrent term of eleven months and twenty-nine days for the misdemeanor offense. On appeal, the Defendant argues that the trial court erred by denying his request for judicial diversion and by ordering a sentence of split confinement rather than full probation. Following our review, we affirm the sentences imposed by the trial court.
