APPEAL FROM THE HOT SPRING COUNTY CIRCUIT COURT [NO. 30CR-21-230] HONORABLE CHRIS E WILLIAMS, JUDGE
Gregory Crain, for appellant.
Leslie Rutledge, Att'y Gen., by: David L. Eanes, Jr., Ass't Att'y Gen., for appellee.
N. MARK KLAPPENBACH, Judge
This is a companion case to Pinegar v. State, 2022 Ark.App. 482 (case No. CR-22-259), also handed down today, which addresses identical arguments on appeal. In August 2021, Zachary Pinegar accepted a plea offer in which, in exchange for having a twenty-year prison sentence deferred to drug court, he pleaded guilty to possession of a firearm by certain persons and possession of a controlled substance. The sentence was ordered to run consecutively to a sentence of six years' imprisonment in case No. CR-22-259, which was also deferred to drug court. After a hearing in December 2021, the circuit court expelled Pinegar from drug court and imposed his deferred sentences. In this appeal, Pinegar argues that his due-process rights were violated when he was denied the opportunity to go to inpatient drug treatment. For the reasons stated in the companion case, we affirm.
Affirmed.
Gruber and Brown, JJ., agree.
