Grady, Judge. Jairo Rodriguez appeals from the district court’s judgment denying his motion to suppress evidence. REVERSED AND REMANDED. E. Daniel O’Brien, Cedar Rapids, for appellant. Thomas J. Miller, Attorney General, and Louis Sloven, Assistant Attorney General, for appellee. Considered by Bower, C.J., and Mullins and Greer, JJ. 2 BOWER, Chief Judge. This case is a companion case to State v. Salcedo, ___ N.W.2d ___, No. 18-1353, 2019 WL 5849005 (Iowa 2019), recently filed by our supreme court. The State has filed a motion to reverse. This case raises the same legal challenge to evidence stemming from a traffic stop as in Salcedo. The supreme court reversed the district court’s judgment as to whether the deputy developed reasonable suspicion of other criminal activity before unreasonably prolonging the stop. Salcedo, ___ N.W.2d at ___. Because the same legal reasoning and opinion in Salcedo fully apply here, we reverse the district court’s judgment denying Rodriquez’s motion to suppress. We therefore reverse and remand. REVERSED AND REMANDED.
