Description
Lou Ann Otto appeals the judgment and sentence entered upon her conviction of operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated in violation of Iowa Code section 321J.2 (1995). She argues the district court erred in denying her motion to suppress evidence obtained from an allegedly unlawful stop of her vehicle. We affirm. On June 3, 1995, at approximately 1:00 a.m., Iowa State Patrolman Kent Lowman observed two cars behind him as he traveled north on Highway 17. Lowman pulled over to check the vehicles' speeds. The first car was traveling at a speed of fifty-five miles per hour. The second car, driven by Lou Ann Otto, was traveling at a speed of forty miles an hour. (The speed limit on Highway 17 is fifty-five miles per hour.) Lowman followed Otto for approximately two and one-half miles to the intersection of Highways 17 and 30. He observed that Otto's car was changing speeds from forty, forty-two, forty-five and forty-eight miles per hour. Lowman further observed that it was ""veering left and right at a sharp angle,"" and that it ""was going left and right and back constantly.""
