Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Story County, Steven P. Van Marel, District Associate Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Greer, P.J., Schumacher, J., and Carr, S.J. Opinion by Greer, P.J. (7 pages)
Jissel Gomez-Torres challenges the district court’s denial of her motion to suppress and subsequent conviction for operating while intoxicated, arguing that the traffic stop of her vehicle was not supported by reasonable suspicion. OPINION HOLDS: The deputy had reasonable suspicion to support his stop of Gomez-Torres’s vehicle through his observation of Gomez-Torres driving down the middle of two lanes over their dashed dividing line, weaving within her lane and touching the center and edge lines, varying her speed to twenty miles per hour below the speed limit, almost missing her exit, and driving over the gore area while crossing the solid white line to make that turn. We affirm.
