Supreme Court of Arkansas

Kedrick T. Darrough, Sr. v. State of Arkansas

March 19, 20202020 Ark. 119

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of Darrough's petition to correct an illegal sentence. It held that his sentences for possession of controlled substances with intent to deliver were legally enhanced because the enhancement statute covered a prior qualifying out-of-state drug conviction, and the exemption for simple possession did not apply. The court concluded that Darrough had not shown that his sentences were facially illegal or exceeded the statutory maximum.
