Description
This is a direct appeal from a guilty plea pursuant to Rule 37(b)(2) of the Tennessee Rules of Criminal Procedure. In his plea agreement, the Defendant pleaded guilty to possession of cocaine for resale, a Class B Felony. He expressly reserved a certified question of law that is dispositive of the case. The certified question originates from the trial court's denial of a motion to suppress evidence obtained from a search of the Defendant's automobile. We affirm the ruling of the trial court. On February 23, 1995, Officer Nichols, with the Special Operations Unit of the Clarksville Police Department, received several anonymous telephone calls pertaining to the Defendant. The same person made three separate calls to the police. During the first call, the caller stated that the Defendant, Ricky Kelly, and a black male passenger would be leaving Clarksville, Tennessee and driving towards Dickson, Tennessee in a 1980's model gray Cadillac. The caller told the officer that the automobile contained drugs and directed the officer to Riverside Drive, in Clarksville. A few minutes after Officer Nichols left, there was another call, which the secretary answered, but the caller insisted on speaking only to Nichols.
