SACHICO COPE v. JOHN DOE, ET AL.
Court: TCA
Attorneys:
B. Timothy Pirtle, McMinnville, Tennessee, for the appellee, Sachico Cope.
James D. Lane, Tullahoma, Tennessee, for the appellee, Roberts Nissan.
Judge: COTTRELL
We affirm the trial court's finding that an unidentified driver caused plaintiff's car to be submerged by water thus triggering plaintiff's uninsured motorist coverage. Likewise, the amount awarded the dealership against the owner for repairs to the car are affirmed without reduction for "unworkman-like labor."

| Dickson officials consider tighter courthouse security |
| With shootings at schools and courthouses happening all over the country, Dickson County officials are sticking their heads in the sand if they think it can't happen here, according to 23rd Judicial District Circuit Court Judge Robert Burch. Burch is one of several courthouse committee members recently appointed to study what courtroom and courthouse security measures are needed. The metal detector isn't even in use now, Burch said: "One reason was a cost-saving measure. The other was because it was unpopular." |
