COA to hear argument on IU’s Richmond campus

0

The Indiana Court of Appeals will head East next week to hear oral argument on an Indiana University campus.

Judges John Baker, Mark Bailey and Melissa May will travel to Wayne County on Tuesday to hear Jeremy E. Grimes v. State of Indiana, 32A04-1709-CR-02001 on the IU East campus in Richmond. Jeremy Grimes was charged with multiple offenses after a law enforcement officer found contraband in his vehicle during a traffic stop.

Grimes moved to suppress the evidence found in his vehicle, arguing the seizure violated his state and federal constitutional rights. The trial court denied Grimes’ motion, so he filed an interlocutory appeal.

The appellate panel will hear Grimes’ appeal at 11 a.m. Tuesday in the campus’ Whitewater Hall — Vivian Auditorium, 2325 Chester Blvd., Richmond.
