The Court of Criminal Appeals affirmed the decision of Nashville Judge Fishburn in upholding the traffic stop based on weaving across lane lines on I75 and Vietnam Veterans Boulevard. The officer involved was Corporal Daniel Okert of Goodlettsville. The prosecuting attorney was David Vorhaus. The Court examined TCA 55-8-123 which requires that a vehicle " be driven as nearly as practicable entirely within a single lane and shall not be moved from that lane until the driver has first ascertained that the movement can be made with safety". The Court also affirmed that the driving gave reasonable suspicion to the officer for a DUI investigatory stop.
