THIS OPINION HAS NO PRECEDENTIAL VALUE. IT SHOULD NOT BE CITED OR RELIED ON AS PRECEDENT IN ANY PROCEEDING EXCEPT AS PROVIDED BY RULE 268(d)(2), SCACR. THE STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA In The Court of Appeals The State, Respondent, v. Jeffrey Michael George, Appellant. Appellate Case No. 2024-001653 Appeal From Greenville County Alex Kinlaw, Jr., Circuit Court Judge Unpublished Opinion No. 2026-UP-471 Submitted October 2, 2026 – Filed November 12, 2026 AFFIRMED Senior Appellate Defender Kathrine Haggard Hudgins, of Columbia, for Appellant. Attorney General Alan McCrory Wilson, Deputy Attorney General Donald J. Zelenka, Senior Assistant Deputy Attorney General Melody Jane Brown, Assistant Attorney General Tommy Evans, Jr., all of Columbia; and Solicitor Cynthia Smith Crick, of Greenville, all for Respondent. PER CURIAM: Jeffrey Michael George appeals his convictions for kidnapping and murder as well as his concurrent sentences of thirty years' imprisonment for kidnapping and forty-eight years' imprisonment for murder. On appeal, George argues the trial court abused its discretion by refusing to credit him with time served on monitored house arrest. We affirm pursuant to Rule 220(b), SCACR. We hold the trial court did not abuse its discretion in declining to award George credit for time served on house arrest. Further, to the extent George argues the trial court did not exercise its discretion in making this determination, we find this argument unsupported by the record. See In re M.H.B., 387 S.C. 323, 326, 692 S.E.2d 541, 542 (2010) ("A trial [court] has broad discretion in sentencing within statutory limits."); id. ("A sentence will not be overturned absent an abuse of discretion when the ruling is based on an error of law or a factual conclusion without evidentiary support."); State v. Hawes, 411 S.C. 188, 191, 767 S.E.2d 707, 708 (2015) ("A failure to exercise discretion amounts to an abuse of that discretion." (quoting Samples v. Mitchell, 329 S.C. 105, 112, 495 S.E.2d 213, 216 (Ct. App. 1997))); S.C. Code Ann. § 24-13-40 (2025) ("In every case in computing the time served by a prisoner, full credit against the sentence must be given for time served prior to trial and sentencing, and may be given for any time spent under monitored house arrest." (emphasis added)). AFFIRMED.1 GEATHERS, HEWITT, and VINSON, JJ., concur. 1 We decide this case without oral argument pursuant to Rule 215, SCACR.
