State of Tennessee v. Ronald Andrew Archey

Syllabus

In this interlocutory appeal, the State asks us to review the trial court's pretrial suppression of data from the Defendant's cell phone. Before searching the cell phone, law enforcement officers sought and obtained a search warrant, which a magistrate authorized based upon its finding that probable cause existed to support the search warrant. The Defendant filed a motion to suppress the evidence found on the phone, and the trial court granted the motion. The State asked for, and the trial court granted, an interlocutory appeal to review the trial court's ruling on the motion. After review, we reverse the trial court's order granting the Defendant's motion to suppress.
