Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Woodbury County, Patrick H. Tott, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered without oral argument by Ahlers, P.J., and Badding and Buller, JJ. Opinion by Badding, J. (6 pages)
Following his conviction for possession of a controlled substance, third offense, Gatkek Lieth appeals the district court’s denial of his motion to suppress. OPINION HOLDS: Because the trooper conducting the stop observed a violation of Iowa Code section 321.438(1) (2023), we find there was probable cause to initiate a traffic stop. We accordingly uphold the district court’s suppression ruling and affirm Lieth’s conviction.
