TN: CI’s tale def was coming to apartment complex to do a drug deal was corroborated by him showing up and apparently doing a drug deal

The CI’s information defendant would be delivering crack cocaine to a specific apartment complex and an officer’s personal observations of defendant arriving there and engaging in what appeared to be a drug deal were sufficient to create reasonable suspicion to justify a brief investigatory stop. State v. Allen, 2016 Tenn. Crim. App. LEXIS 542 (July 25, 2016).

Defendant’s wife freely consented to the search. State v. Wells, 2016 Tenn. Crim. App. LEXIS 540 (July 25, 2016).*
