Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Polk County, Brendan E. Greiner, District Associate Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Bower, C.J., and Vaitheswaran and Schumacher, JJ. Opinion by Bower, C.J. (7 pages)
Stephone Kriens appeals from her convictions for operating while intoxicated, third offense, and tampering with or circumventing an ignition interlock device. She asserts her motion to suppress was wrongly rejected and the court abused its sentencing discretion. OPINION HOLDS: The vehicle stop was supported by reasonable suspicion of unlawful activity so the motion to suppress was properly denied. The court provided adequate reasons for imposing consecutive sentences. We affirm.
