Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Scott County, Cheryl Traum, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Tabor, C.J., and Chicchelly and Sandy, JJ. Opinion by Tabor, C.J. (11 pages)
After hearing evidence that Matthew Serres led police on a high-speed chase on his motorcycle, a jury found him guilty of eluding while going more than twenty-five miles per hour over the speed limit. Serres appeals, contending that the State failed to prove he was driving the motorcycle. OPINION HOLDS: The State presented substantial eyewitness and video evidence to support the jury’s determination that Serres was the eluding motorcyclist. Thus, we affirm Serres’s conviction.
