State of Tennessee v. Scarlet I. Martin

Syllabus

Defendant, Scarlet I. Martin, was convicted of driving under the influence of an intoxicant (\DUI\) and driving under the influence of an intoxicant with a blood alcohol concentration (\BAC\) greater than .08 (\DUI per se\). She appeals, arguing that the evidence was insufficient to support her convictions and that the trial court erred by denying her motion to suppress the results of a warrantless blood draw. After carefully reviewing the record, we conclude that the evidence was sufficient and that the blood draw was justified by exigent circumstances. Accordingly, the judgments of the trial court are affirmed.

Judges: Judge Timothy L. Easter
