State of Tennessee v. Thomas Braden

The appellee, Thomas Braden, was indicted for possession of cocaine, possession of marijuana, and possession of Alprazolam, all misdemeanors.  He filed a motion to suppress the evidence, arguing that the affidavit in support of the search warrant for the home in which the drugs were found was defective because it failed to establish ongoing criminal activity at the residence.  The Maury County Circuit Court granted the motion, and the State now appeals.  Upon review of the oral arguments, the record, and the parties’ briefs, we affirm the judgment of the trial court.
