Unruly teens seen in a state (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tennessee

'a state' is the definition.
(Tennessee is an example)

'unruly teens seen' is the wordplay.
'unruly' indicates an anagram.
'teens'+'seen'='teensseen'
'teensseen' anagrammed gives 'TENNESSEE'.

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for tennessee that I've seen before include "US state, capital Nashville" , "American state, capital Nashville" , "Famous American playwright . . . . . . . . . Williams" , "Volunteer State" , "State of south-east US" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
