Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Polk County, Tabitha Turner, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered without oral argument by Tabor, C.J., and Schumacher and Chicchelly, JJ. Opinion by Tabor, C.J. (6 pages)
The defendant appeals his sentence after pleading guilty to operating while intoxicated, arguing the sentencing court abused its discretion because the presentence investigation reporter held a fixed policy for its sentencing recommendation, the court “fixated” on his prior vehicle accidents, and the court should have ordered probation rather than incarceration. OPINION HOLDS: We find no abuse of discretion in the court’s reasoning and sentence, so we affirm.
