State of Tennessee v. Betty Gouge

The defendant, Betty Gouge, pled guilty to one count of sale of one-half gram or more of cocaine, a Class B felony, one count of possession with intent to sell one-half gram or more of cocaine, a Class B felony, and one count of possession with the intent to sell less than ten pounds of marijuana, a Class E felony. The Unicoi County Criminal Court sentenced her to eight years for each Class B felony and one year for the Class E felony to be served concurrently as a Range I, standard offender in the Department of Correction. The defendant appeals, contending that the trial court erred in denying her probation or alternative sentencing. We affirm the judgments of the trial court but we remand case number 5337, Count 3, to the trial court for the judgment to reflect that the defendant pled guilty and was found guilty.
