State of Tennessee v. Robert Gene Mayfield

The Appellant, Robert Gene Mayfield, presents for review a certified question of law. See Tenn. R. Crim. P. 37(b)(2)(i). Mayfield pled guilty to felony possession of over .5 grams of cocaine with the intent to sell and felony possession of over one-half ounce of marijuana with the intent to sell. He was subsequently sentenced to an effective eight-year sentence to be served on probation. As a condition of his guilty plea, Mayfield explicitly reserved a certified question of law challenging the denial of his motion to suppress evidence found during the execution of a search warrant at his residence. Mayfield argues that the affidavit given in support of the warrant was insufficient to establish probable cause. After review of the record, we affirm the judgment of the Montgomery County Circuit Court denying the motion to suppress.
