STATE OF TENNESSEE v. KENDALL MCKENZIE KIN EAYRS

Posted by: Chandra Williams on Dec 22, 2015

Head Comment: With concurring opinion.

Court: TN Court of Criminal Appeals

Attorneys 1:

Bryan E. Delius and Bryce W. McKenzie, Sevierville, Tennessee, for the Defendant- Appellant, Kendall McKenzie Kin Eayrs.

Attorneys 2:

Herbert H. Slatery III, Attorney General and Reporter; Lacy Wilber, Senior Counsel; James B. Dunn, District Attorney General; and Gregory C. Eshbaugh, Assistant District Attorney General, for the Appellee, State of Tennessee.

Judge(s): MCMULLEN

Following the denial of her motion to suppress, the Defendant-Appellant, Kendall McKenzie Kin Eayrs, entered a guilty plea to driving under the influence, reserving three certified questions of law challenging the legality of her stop. Because the trial court erred in denying the motion to suppress after holding that the officer had probable cause or reasonable suspicion to stop Eayrs’s vehicle for being illegally parked in a turn lane, we reverse the judgment of the trial court, vacate Eayrs’s guilty plea, and dismiss the indictment.
