The Dickson Criminal Docket meeting on May 17, 2025, focused on the case of Christopher James Sacco, who entered a no contest plea to a charge of possession of fentanyl. The court sentenced him to eight years in the Tennessee Department of Correction (TDOC) as a standard offender.

As part of his sentence, Sacco will be furloughed to a treatment program selected by the recovery court. Upon successful completion of this program, he will transition to probation under the supervision of the recovery court. It is important to note that successful completion of the recovery court program is a zero-tolerance condition of his probation. Sacco is required to report in person and is not eligible for intermittent online tracking (IOT) reporting. Additionally, he must forfeit any seized property related to his case.

The court acknowledged Sacco's pretrial jail credits, which were documented in the plea agreement. The proceedings concluded with the necessary paperwork being handed to the court deputy for processing. This case highlights the court's focus on rehabilitation through treatment programs for substance abuse, reflecting a broader trend in addressing drug-related offenses.
