State of Tennessee v. Carla A. Tarar

Defendant, Carla A. Tarar, pleaded guilty to six misdemeanor drug offenses and was sentenced to eleven months and twenty-nine days to serve followed by four consecutive sentences of eleven months and twenty-nine days on supervised probation. After two prior revocations of probation, the trial court revoked Defendant’s probation a third time and ordered her to serve the four consecutive sentences of eleven months and twenty-nine days in confinement. Defendant filed a motion for a reduction of sentence pursuant to Tennessee Rule of Criminal Procedure 35, which the trial court denied. On appeal, Defendant argues that the trial court afforded too much weight to her prior criminal record, the terms of her plea agreement, and her probation violations and that the court did not consider Defendant’s progress in addressing her addiction or extenuating circumstances surrounding her relapses. Upon review, we affirm the judgment of the trial court.
