State of Tennessee v. Jeffrey Lynn Wilkes
Syllabus
The Defendant, Jeffrey Lynn Wilkes, pled guilty in the Dyer County Circuit Court to burglary, a Class D felony, and was sentenced by the trial court as a Range II, multiple offender to five years in the Tennessee Department of Correction, to be served consecutively to his prior Tennessee sentences and to his sentence in a pending Florida case. On appeal, the Defendant argues that the trial court erred by denying a sentence of split confinement that would have enabled the Defendant to enter a rehabilitative program to treat his drug addiction. Based on our review, we affirm the judgment of the trial court.
