State of Tennessee v. Michael A. Talley

This is an appeal as of right by the State after dismissal of charges following the trial court’s order which granted the motion to suppress evidence filed by Defendant, Michael A. Talley.  The evidence which was ultimately suppressed had been seized pursuant to a search warrant.  Defendant’s motion asserted that the affidavit filed in support of the issuance of the search warrant lacked probable cause to justify the search.  Following a hearing, the trial court took the matter under advisement.  Ultimately the trial court entered an order granting the motion to suppress and subsequently entered an order which dismissed the cases in Docket No. 21635 in the Circuit Court of Maury County “[d]ue to suppression of the evidence.”  After a thorough review of the law and the entire record, we affirm the judgment of the trial court.
