State v. Simmons
Annotate this CaseDefendant entered a conditional guilty plea to operating under the influence. Defendant appealed, arguing that the suppression court erred in denying his motion to suppress evidence obtained from the stop of his vehicle by a game warden. The suppression court found that the warden stopped Defendant’s vehicle after making an “unnecessarily wide” right turn into the approaching lane of another road. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that the warden’s testimony was sufficient to support the suppression court’s finding that the warden had a reasonable articulable suspicion that Defendant had committed a traffic violation and that the warden’s subjective suspicion was objectively reasonable under the circumstances.
