State v. Johnson

Opinion

Per Curiam.

[¶1] Lucas Michael Johnson appeals from a criminal judgment entered after he conditionally pleaded guilty to unlawful possession of a controlled substance and unlawful possession of drug paraphernalia. Johnson argues the district court erred by denying his motion to suppress evidence obtained during a search unsupported by reasonable and articulable suspicion. We conclude there is sufficient competent evidence supporting the district court's finding of a traffic violation constituting reasonable and articulable suspicion for the stop. We summarily affirm the criminal judgment under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(2) and (7). See State v. Asbach , 2015 ND 280 , ¶¶ 11-14, 871 N.W.2d 820 .
