State of Tennessee v. Carroll Carson Sanders

The Defendant, Carroll Carson Sanders, pled guilty in two cases to eight counts of theft over $10,000, five counts of theft over $1000, and one count of theft over $500. The parties agreed to an effective sentence of ten years, with the trial court to determine the manner of service of the ten-year sentence, followed by five years of probation. After a sentencing hearing, the trial court ordered the Defendant to serve his effective ten-year sentence in the Department of Correction. On appeal, the Defendant contends that the trial court erred when it denied him an alternative sentence. Concluding there exists no error, we affirm the judgment of the trial court.
