Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Polk County, Becky Goettsch, Brendan E. Greiner and Jesse Ramirez, District Associate Judges. AFFIRMED. Considered by Tabor, P.J., Ahlers, J., and Scott, S.J. Opinion by Scott, S.J. (15 pages)
Maurice Green appeals his two convictions for operating while intoxicated (OWI). He challenges the denial of his motion to suppress, contending he was subjected to two unreasonable seizures within less than three hours. He also asserts the trial court abused its discretion in consolidating the two OWI cases. OPINION HOLDS: We affirm the denial of the motions to suppress and conclude the trial court’s consolidation and the later denial of a motion to sever was not based on grounds clearly untenable or unreasonable.
