Description
Appellant Charles Theo McIntosh was charged with and convicted of four controlled substance offenses for selling crack cocaine. On the fourth conviction, controlled substance offense in the second degree for the sale of 3 grams or more of cocaine as defined in Minn. Stat. § 152.022 (1998), the district court upwardly departed from the presumptive guideline sentence of 98 months and imposed a sentence of 122 months on the ruling that the sale was a "major controlled substance offense" as defined in Minnesota Sentencing Guidelines II.D.2.b(5). The court of appeals affirmed that ruling. We conclude that the record does not support the ruling that the sale constituted a major controlled substance offense. We therefore reverse, vacate the sentencing departure, and remand to the district court for the imposition of the presumptive guidelines sentence.
