State v. Olivarez

Opinion

MORTENSEN, Judge:

¶1 Romeo Lucero Olivarez activated his turn signal and, in one continuous movement, crossed two lanes of traffic. An officer stopped Olivarez for an illegal lane change. One thing led to another, heroin and methamphetamine were found, and Olivarez conditionally pled guilty to two counts of Possession or Use of a Controlled Substance, reserving a right to appeal the denial of his motion to suppress. On appeal, Olivarez contends that the evidence obtained during this stop, which included an inventory search of his car, should have been suppressed. We affirm.
