****** Joshua Wade (defendant) argues that the trial court abused its discretion in imposing a term of imprisonment rather than placing him on probation. There was no abuse of discretion, so we affirm. FACTS AND PROCEDURAL BACKGROUND I. Facts On October 3, 2023, defendant went to the apartment where his girlfriend lived with their infant child.
