Court of Appeals of Indiana
Albert Guthery v. State of Indiana
21A-CR-711
Criminal. Affirms Albert Guthery’s convictions for dealing in cocaine as a Level 2 felony and dealing in methamphetamine as a Level 2 felony, and his sentence to an aggregate of 25 years, with 10 years executed in the Department of Correction, 10 years executed in community corrections and five years suspended, including three years of probation, enhanced by six years for being a habitual offender. Finds the Marion Superior Court did not abuse its discretion when it admitted evidence garnered from a traffic stop. Also finds Guthery’s sentences for dealing in meth and being a habitual offender did not constitute an impermissible double enhancement, nor is his sentence inappropriate in light of his offenses and his character.
