Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Marshall County, Adria Kester, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered without oral argument by Chicchelly, P.J., and Buller and Langholz, JJ. Opinion by Langholz, J. (5 pages)
Tyler Patterson appeals his sentence for first-degree theft. He argues that the district court failed to adequately explain its reasons for his sentence and abused its discretion by selecting a prison sentence rather than a suspended sentence with probation. OPINION HOLDS: Because the district court adequately explained its sentencing reasons and did not abuse its considerable sentencing discretion in selecting the sentence, we affirm.
