State of Tennessee v. David Ian Lemons

Syllabus

The Appellant, David Ian Lemons, was convicted in the Madison County Circuit Court of eleven drug and weapons offenses, ranging from a Class A misdemeanor to a Class B felony. After a sentencing hearing, he received an effective twenty-three-year sentence as a Range II, multiple offender. On appeal, the Appellant contends that his effective sentence is excessive because the trial court improperly applied an enhancement factor and improperly ordered consecutive sentencing. The State acknowledges that while the trial court may have partially misapplied an enhancement factor, the Appellant's twenty-three-year sentence is not excessive. Based upon the oral arguments, the record, and the parties' briefs, we agree with the State and affirm the judgments of the trial court.
