STATE OF TENNESSEE v. DAVID RIVERA

Posted by: Tanja Trezise on Jul 15, 2020

Court: TN Court of Criminal Appeals

Attorneys 1: William L. Wheatley, Sevierville, Tennessee, for the Defendant-Appellant, David Rivera.

Attorneys 2: Herbert H. Slatery III, Attorney General and Reporter; Brent C. Cherry, Senior Assistant Attorney General; Jimmy B. Dunn, District Attorney General; and Brad Jones, Assistant District Attorney General, for the Appellee, State of Tennessee.

Judge(s): MCMULLEN

Following the denial of his motion to suppress, the Defendant, David Rivera, entered a guilty plea to driving under the influence of an intoxicant (DUI), fourth offense, but properly reserved, in accordance with Tennessee Rule of Criminal Procedure 37(b)(2)(A), a certified question of law regarding the legality of his traffic stop. Because the Defendant’s traffic stop was supported by probable cause, or at a minimum, reasonable suspicion, we affirm the judgment of the trial court.
