Criminal. Affirms the Jefferson Circuit Court's sentence modification reducing the time Pebble Stafford was to serve in the Department of Correction after pleading guilty to Class B felony dealing in a controlled substance, Class C felony battery and Class B misdemeanor possession of substance to interfere with a screening test.
