State of Tennessee v. Roxa H. Perkins - Concurring

Opinion

IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS OF TENNESSEE AT NASHVILLE Assigned on Briefs December 15, 2004

STATE OF TENNESSEE v. ROXA H. PERKINS

Circuit Court for Coffee County No. 30,437

No. M2002-02993-CCA-R3-CD - Filed August 10, 2005

JOHN EVERETT WILLIAMS, J., concurring in results.

I concur in the result reached by the majority in this case, i.e., that the search of the defendant's car was permissible. However, I dissent to the extent that the majority opinion implies that probable cause existed upon the arrival of the described vehicle. I would not find probable cause had the driver, in a similar vehicle, been an individual not associated with Bobby Perkins, the target of this operation.

Otherwise, I concur in the judgment of the Court.
