Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Lyon County, Jessica Noll, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered without oral argument by Greer, P.J., and Badding and Chicchelly, JJ. Opinion by Badding, J. (5 pages)
Jackson Nockels was convicted for first-offense operating while intoxicated. He appeals the denial of his motion to suppress, arguing that because the deputy lacked reasonable suspicion to initiate the traffic stop, his federal and state constitutional rights were violated. OPINION HOLDS: Considering the totality of the circumstances, we agree with the district court that the deputy had reasonable suspicion to initiate the stop. Accordingly, we affirm the denial of the motion to suppress.
