State v. Reed9/20/1999
while on probation, and charged with public intoxication. On May 31, 1995, the Bedford County General Sessions Court ordered that he serve ten days on the DUI conviction, this sentence to be consecutive to that which he had received for public intoxication. Additionally, a second probation revocation warrant was issued on December 5, 1995, seeking revocation of the DUI suspended sentence because the defendant had subsequently been arrested for vandalism, aggravated criminal trespass, and public intoxication, according to the warrant. On January 16, 1996, the trial court ordered that the defendant serve sixty days of the DUI sentence.
Finally, on June 25, 1997, the defendant was charged with domestic abuse. He entered a guilty plea to this offense on July 29, 1997, and received a sentence of eleven months and twenty-nine days, all of which was suspended. The defendant was ordered to pay court costs and to attend a domestic violence class. Thus, based on the defendant's extensive criminal history and his inability to comply with the terms and conditions of a previous order of probation, we cannot say the trial court abused its discretion in choosing the manner of sentence in this case.
For these reasons, we affirm the decision of the trial court.
