STATE OF TENNESSEE v. EDDIE MADDLE

Syllabus

The Defendant, Eddie Maddle, was convicted by a Putnam County jury of possession with the intent to sell or deliver .5 grams or more of methamphetamine, a Class C felony, and was sentenced by the trial court as a Range II multiple offender to fifteen years in the Department of Correction. The Defendant raises the following four issues on appeal: 1) whether the trial court erred by allowing evidence of crimes committed by the Defendant's wife 2) whether the State established a reliable chain of custody for the drugs admitted into evidence at trial 3) whether the Defendant was entitled to a mistrial on the grounds that a Tennessee Department of Correction (\TDOC\) employee entered the courtroom and disrupted his trial and 4) whether the evidence is sufficient to sustain the conviction. Following our review, we affirm the judgment of the trial court.
