State of Tennessee v. Americus Julian Harris

The Defendant, Amerius Julian Harris, pleaded guilty to possession with the intent to sell of .5 grams or more of cocaine and possession of a Schedule VI drug with intent to sell, and the trial court sentenced the Defendant to an effective sentence of twelve years, suspended to supervised probation except for 180 days.  A violation of probation warrant was issued, and the trial court revoked the Defendant’s probation and ordered service of the balance of the sentence in confinement.  The Defendant appeals, asserting that the trial court’s decision to fully revoke his probation sentence was “too harsh.”  We affirm the trial court’s judgment and remand for entry of a corrected revocation order in case number 12-0280.
