Posted by: Azya Thornton on Dec 29, 2025

Court: TN Court of Criminal Appeals

Attorneys 1: Kendall Stivers Jones and Raven Prean-Morris, Assistant Public Defenders, Tennessee District Public Defenders Conference (on appeal); and Travis Jones, District Public Defender; and Teresa Campbell, Assistant Public Defender (at trial), for the appellant, Jake Christopher Reynolds.

Attorneys 2: Jonathan Skrmetti, Attorney General and Reporter; Ryan W. Davis, Assistant Attorney General; Brent Cooper, District Attorney General; and Kyle Anderson, Assistant District Attorney General, for the appellee, State of Tennessee.

Judge(s): DYER

A Giles County jury convicted the defendant, Jake Christopher Reynolds, of criminal trespass, preventing or obstructing service of legal process, and resisting arrest, for which he received an effective sentence of ten days in confinement. On appeal, the defendant contends the trial court erred in admitting evidence of the defendant’s prior convictions and in incorrectly charging the jury on the statutory defense to criminal trespass. After reviewing the record and considering the applicable law, we affirm the judgments of the trial court.
