BROWN, Judge.
Defendant, Jesse E. Tumblin, III, pled guilty to purse snatching, a violation of LSA-R.S. 14:65.1. After rejecting the recommendation of the Felony Sentencing Guidelines (FSG), the trial court sentenced defendant to 7 years imprisonment at hard labor. Defendant appeals arguing that the departure from the sentencing guidelines was unwarranted and that the sentence imposed is constitutionally excessive.
