Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Cass County, Jeffrey L. Larson, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Mullins, P.J., and May and Ahlers, JJ. Opinion by Mullins, P.J. (12 pages)
Jack Carson Jr. appeals his conviction of possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver. He argues (1) the court erred in denying his motion to suppress “because the purported alerts by the drug dog” on his vehicle “did not provide probable cause to search” and (2) his attorney was ineffective in failing to challenge the constitutionality of the traffic stop. OPINION HOLDS: We affirm the denial of Carson’s motion to suppress and his conviction.
