State of Tennessee v. Kevin Lee Pennell

The defendant was found in criminal contempt of court for violating a court order by operating a motor vehicle after his driving privileges had been lost for one year, and received a ten-day jail sentence. He raises two issues on appeal: (1) whether a trial judge can revoke a Tennessee driver’s license; and (2) whether he was in contempt for driving his vehicle the same day and after he had lost his license. Finding no error, we affirm the judgment of the trial court.
