State of Tennessee v. Steven Larry Kilgore, Jr.

The appellant, Steven Larry Kilgore, Jr., pled nolo contendere in the Hamilton County Criminal Court to misdemeanor theft of property and received a sentence of eleven months, twenty-nine days to be served on probation. As part of the plea agreement, the appellant reserved a certified question of law as to whether the police had reasonable suspicion to seize and detain him and whether the subsequent, non-consensual search of his car and seizure of evidence was illegal. Based upon the oral arguments, the record, and the parties’ briefs, we affirm the judgment of the trial court.
