State v. Baker

by
The Supreme Court affirmed the decision of the court of appeals affirming the judgment of the district court convicting and sentencing Defendant for driving while license barred, possession of marijuana, possession with intent to deliver marijuana, and failure to affix a drug tax stamp, holding that there was no error in the proceedings below.Specifically, the Court held (1) the police had reasonable suspicion to conduct a traffic stop of Defendant's vehicle, and therefore, the court was not required to suppress the evidence obtained from the stop; (2) trial counsel was not ineffective for failing to move to suppress evidence before Defendant entered his guilty pleas for driving while license barred and possession of marijuana; (3) the district court had a substantial basis for determining that probable cause existed to support the warrant the police executed on Defendant's residence; and (4) the district court did not abuse its discretion in imposing Defendant's sentence.
