State of Tennessee v. David Arnold Humphrey

The defendant, David Arnold Humphrey, entered a plea of guilt to attempt to possess more than .5 grams of cocaine for resale. As a part of the plea agreement, a Range II sentence of six years was imposed and a certified question of law was reserved for appeal. See Tenn R. Crim. P. 37 (b)(2)(i). The question, as originally approved before the filing of the notice of appeal, is "[w]hether the initial contact and subsequent seizure of the defendant were . . . proper, with said seizure resulting in the seizure of a Crown Royal bag containing cocaine." The state, with the approval of the trial court, conceded that the issue was dispositive of the case. The judgment is affirmed.
