State v. Tahir S. Gregory (072715)

Defendant pled guilty to possession with the intent to distribute a controlled dangerous substance within 1000 feet of school property. The question before this Court is whether defendant provided an adequate factual basis to sustain his plea of guilty. Defendant did not admit to all of the elements of the crime or admit facts from which the court could conclude that all of the elements of the crime had been established. Accordingly, we reverse defendant’s conviction, vacate his guilty plea, reinstate the indictment, and remand the matter to the trial court.
