This case is the consolidated appeal of Ct. App. No. 33,312 (the State’s appeal from the District Court’s “Order Suppressing Evidence, Dismissing Case, Remanding to Magistrate Court For Enforcement of Judgment, and Releasing Bond”) and Ct. App. No. 33,701 (the Defendant’s appeal of the District Court’s “Order Denying Defendant’s Motion to Dismiss”). In 2012, Defendant was charged with aggravated driving under the influence, driving while license suspended or revoked, no insurance, and failure to maintain a traffic lane stemming from a traffic stop. The Appellant asserts that the District Court properly denied the Appellee’s Motion to Dismiss and that the traffic stop in 2012 was supported by reasonable suspicion.
