Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Polk County, Erica Crisp and Becky Goettsch, Judges. AFFIRMED. Considered by Schumacher, P.J., Badding, J., and Danilson, S.J. Opinion by Danilson, S.J. (9 pages)
A jury found Damen Walton guilty of operating while intoxicated. On appeal from that conviction, Walton challenges the district court’s denial of his motion to suppress and contends his motion for new trial should have been granted because the jury’s verdict is contrary to the weight of the evidence. OPINION HOLDS: Because there was probable cause to support the stop of Walton’s vehicle and the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying the motion for new trial, we affirm.
