                                  )       Aggravated Assault)
             Appellant.           )

                               CONCURRING OPINION

             I concur in the majority opinion. I add, though, that I do not believe we

have to conduct the two-prong inquiry provided in State v. Anthony, 817 S.W.2d 299

(Tenn. 1991) and State v. Dixon, 957 S.W.2d 532 (Tenn. 1997). This is because an

aggravated assault does not necessarily include the elements of kidnapping. Thus, I

believe that an Anthony issue is not even implicated.
