OPINION FILED:________________________________
AFFIRMED PURSUANT TO RULE 20
Joe B. Jones, Presiding Judge
OPINION
The appellant, George Lorenzo Cartwright (defendant), appeals as of right from a
judgment of the trial court revoking his community corrections sentence and reinstating the
sentence previously imposed by the court. The trial court found the defendant had violated
the terms of his house arrest, he admitted he had ingested marijuana, and he had been
arrested for the possession of cocaine.
The evidence contained in the record is uncontradicted. The person supervising the
defendant’s community corrections sentence testified concerning the violation of the house
arrest provision and the defendant’s admission he had been ingesting marijuana and could
not pass a drug screen. A police officer executing a search warrant at the defendant’s
house testified he found cocaine within one inch of the defendant’s foot.
After a thorough review of the record, the briefs submitted by the parties, and the
law governing the issue presented for review, it is the opinion of this Court that the
judgment of the trial court should be affirmed pursuant to Rule 20, Rules of the Tennessee
Court of Criminal Appeals.
