Description
This is an appeal from a sentence imposed by the Hamilton County Criminal Court. Sandra Kay Byrd was indicted by the Hamilton County Grand Jury for the offense of conspiracy to commit theft. She entered a plea of no contest to the indicted offense and was sentenced, pursuant to a plea agreement, to four years. Byrd requested a suspended sentence, or in the alternative, placement in the community corrections program. The court denied both requests and initially ordered Byrd to serve her sentence in the Tennessee Department of Corrections. At a subsequent hearing, the court suggested that after a term of incarceration, a community correction sentence might be appropriate. From those rulings, Byrd appeals. For reasons stated below, we affirm the denial of probation, reverse the refusal to impose a community corrections sentence, and remand for resentencing.
