State Of Louisiana v. Ze'andre Ballard

NFL

STATE OF LOUISIANA NO. 2023 KW 0996

VERSUS

JANUARY 22, 2024

In Re: State of Louisiana, applying for writs,
supervisory
20th Judicial District Court, Parish of West
Feliciana, Nos. 23- WFLN- 87, 23- WFLN- 88, 23- WMSD- 89.

BEFORE: McCLENDON, HESTER, AND MILLER, JJ.

WRIT DENIED. At the hearing on the motion to suppress, the
Officer conceded he initiated the traffic at
stop
issue solely for the left- hand lane violation. The State
concedes the Officer' s testimony concerning respondent driving
in the left lane failed to establish probable cause to believe
that a traffic violation had occurred, and thus, was

insufficient to support an investigatory stop of the vehicle.

McClendon, J. ,
concurs and would deny the writ.
