State of Tennessee v. Jansen L. Smith

12th Judicial District Court (Appellate Panel) · March 11, 2026

Oral arguments in an appeal over the suppression of evidence in the case of Jansen Smith focused on whether a hospital encounter and an officer-issued BOLO produced a seizure that tainted a later traffic stop and DUI investigation. Defense counsel argued the initial encounter was consensual and any suspicion was dispelled before the stop; the state argued reasonable suspicion remained and the trial court’s ruling should stand.
