Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Buchanan County, Alan T. Heavens, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Ahlers, P.J., and Chicchelly and Buller, JJ. Opinion by Chicchelly, J. (5 pages)
Lanard Antonio Collins appeals the sentence imposed after his guilty plea to willful injury resulting in bodily injury as a habitual offender, contending the district court abused its sentencing discretion by relying on certain factors and imposing incarceration instead of probation. OPINION HOLDS: Because we conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion, we affirm Collins’s sentence.
