Try CasePortal for FreeJ. McMullen finds the lower court improperly sentenced defendant in this matter of theft, drugs and firearms. Defendant was convicted of possession of marijuana with intent to sell or deliver, possession of a firearm with intent to go armed during the commission of a dangerous felony, theft of property up to $1,000, and possession of unlawful drug paraphernalia for selling drugs car-to-car at a Sonic drive-in restaurant, and being found with marijuana and a stolen firearm in his backpack. Defendant received an effective five-year sentence to be served in confinement, but because he was eligible for probation for the theft and drug-related convictions, the instant court finds the lower court did not properly consider alternative sentencing. The matter is remanded for resentencing. Reversed.
