Description
Coffee County Hon. Gerald L. Ewell, Judge (Sentencing) AFFIRMED OPINION The defendant, Jennifer Nunley, appeals from her sentence imposed for facilitation of possession of cocaine more than .5 grams,1 a Class C felony, in the Coffee County Circuit Court. The trial court imposed a sentence of three years to be served in the Community Corrections program after 60 days of confinement in the county jail. In this direct appeal, the defendant contends that the trial court should have placed her immediately into the Community Corrections program without a period of confinement. After a review of the record, the briefs of the parties, and the applicable law, we affirm the sentence. The defendant was living with the father of her eleven-month old child, Mr. Braston, when officers of the Tullahoma City Police Department came to arrest him. As the officers entered the residence, they found 8.8 grams of crack cocaine in plain view. Although the state did not charge the defendant with the sale of cocaine, the state's attorney believed the defendant knew the crack cocaine was in her residence. Therefore, the state allowed the defendant to plead guilty to facilitation of possession of cocaine more than .5 grams.
