24-1305
Date Published:
Dec 17, 2025
Summary

            Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Polk County, Ashley Stewart, Judge.  AFFIRMED.  Considered without oral argument by Schumacher, P.J., Chicchelly, J., and Vogel, S.J.  Opinion by Vogel, S.J.  (3 pages)

            Jacob Archer appeals his sentence for operating while intoxicated, third offense, arguing the district court improperly considered unproven conduct.  OPINION HOLDS: Because Archer pleaded guilty to the Guthrie County operating-while-intoxicated offense and never objected to its consideration during the sentencing hearing, the district court did not abuse its discretion in considering the offense when crafting Archer’s sentence.
