Tennessee State Trooper Calvin Jenks
EOW: January 6, 2007
- Trooper Calvin Jenks was shot and killed while conducting a traffic stop near the intersection of Highways 14 and 54 in Tipton County. During the stop, Trooper Jenks smelled marijuana from the vehicle and was told by the driver that there were drugs in the center console. When he asked the passenger if he had any drugs, the man produced a handgun and opened fire, striking Trooper Jenks once in the head and once in the body. Both men fled the scene but were arrested 13 hours later in Nashville, approximately 200 miles from where the shooting occurred. In December 2007, Orlando Garcia was found guilty of the facilitation of first degree murder in the death of Tennessee State Trooper Calvin Jenks. He was also found guilty of possession of marijuana with the intent to deliver. Alejandro Gaunais' trial began in May 2008 for first degree murder charges and continues today. Please keep the Jenks family in your thoughts!
