Summary

            Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Johnson County, Jason A. Burns, Judge.  AFFIRMED.  Considered by Tabor, P.J., and Schumacher and Badding, JJ.  Opinion by Tabor, P.J.  (5 pages)

            A defendant appeals her conviction for operating while intoxicated, challenging the denial of her motion to suppress.  OPINION HOLDS: We find that all the facts, taken together, would allow a reasonable officer to suspect impaired driving and conclude the district court correctly denied the defendant’s motion to suppress.  Thus, we affirm her conviction.
