Anderson v. State
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court affirmed Defendant's conviction, entered upon his conditional plea of guilty, of felony possession of methamphetamine, holding that the district court did not err in denying Defendant's motion to suppress evidence obtained from his vehicle after law enforcement stopped him for failing properly to signal a left turn.
On appeal, Defendant challenged the district court's interpretation of the applicable statute, Wyo. Stat. Ann. 31-5-217, arguing that he complied with the statute and that the officer lacked reasonable suspicion to stop him. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that Defendant's argument that this Court should interpret the statute to require no more than a turn be made safely ignored the rules of statutory interpretation.
