State of Tennessee v. Tara D. Allen

The defendant, Tara Allen, was found guilty by a Cheatham County jury of vehicular homicide by intoxication and possession of drug paraphernalia. The trial court imposed an effective ten-year sentence. On appeal, the defendant contends the trial court erred in denying her motion to suppress evidence obtained from a warrantless blood draw. The defendant also argues the evidence presented at trial was insufficient to support her conviction of possession of drug paraphernalia. Following our review, the parties’ briefs, and oral arguments, we affirm the defendant’s convictions.
