State of Tennessee v. Jeffrey Scott Petty

The Appellant, Jeffrey Scott Petty, was indicted by a Bedford County Grand Jury for one count of driving under the influence. On May 30, 2000, a jury convicted the Appellant of DUI, first offense, a class A misdemeanor. On that same day, the trial court sentenced the Appellant to eleven months, twenty-nine days, all suspended except for thirty days incarceration. The trial court further ordered that the thirty days be served periodically on weekends. On appeal, the Appellant raises one issue for our review: Whether the trial court properly ordered the Appellant to serve thirty days of his eleven month, twenty-nine day sentence in periodic incarceration. Upon review, we find no error. Thus, the judgment of the Bedford County Circuit Court is affirmed.
