Plaintiff, :

vs. :

MOTION TO SUPPRESS

ROSS JOSEPH RENZE, :

Defendant. :

COMES NOW, the Defendant, Ross Joseph Renze, by and through his attorney,

Robert G. Rehkemper, and pursuant to Iowa Rule of Criminal Procedure 2.12, and for his

Motion to Suppress Evidence, states the following:

1. Defendant, Ross Renze, is charged with the crime of Operating While

Intoxicated in violation of Iowa Code section 321J.2.

Statement of Facts

2. On January 31, 2014, at approximately 11:33 p.m., Mr. Renze was arrested by

Deputy Kristan Erskine of the Sac County Sheriff’s Office for Operating While

Intoxicated.

3. Mr. Renze was subsequently transported to the Sac County Jail where implied

consent proceedings were invoked at approximately 12:03 a.m.

4. Upon arriving at the station, Mr. Renze invoked his rights pursuant to Iowa

Code section 804.20, calling his brother and requesting that his brother come down to the

Sac County Jail to consult with him.


2

5. Mr. Renze then specifically requested an in-person consultation with his

brother prior to making his decision regarding chemical testing and at approximately

12:12:10 am, Mr. Renze told Deputy Erskine that he had someone coming to meet with

him shortly.

6. At 12:19:10 a.m, Deputy Erskine receives a phone call informing her that Mr.

Renze’s brother has arrived at the Sac County Jail and she leaves the room to speak with

his brother.

7. At 12:21:00 a.m., a male deputy informs Mr. Renze that his family members or

anyone else who comes to consult with him will not be allowed to do so and that any

further calls to get someone down to the station would be “a complete waste of time.”

8. At 12:21:50 a.m. the male deputy then requested that Mr. Renze make a

decision regarding chemical testing, stating that if Mr. Renze was to try to wait and not

make a decision that he would get marked as a refusal and “I’m pretty sure that’s not

what you want to do.”

9. After being refused his right to a consultation with a family member, Mr. Renze

submitted to the Datamaster test at 12:23:00 am, and was booked into the Sac County Jail

for Operating While Intoxicated.

Legal Argument

I. Iowa Code section 804.20 was violated.

10. Iowa Code section 804.20, states in relevant part:

“Any peace officer or other person having custody of any person arrested or

restrained of the person’s liberty for any reason whatever, shall permit that

person, without unnecessary delay after arrival at the place of detention, to


3

call, consult, and see a member of the person’s family or any attorney of the

person’s choice, or both. Such person shall be permitted to make a reasonable

number of telephone calls as may be required to secure an attorney. . . . ”

(emphasis added)

11. The word “shall” imposes a duty. Iowa Code §4.1(30)(a); see also Didonato

v. Iowa Department of Transportation, 456 N.W.2d 367, 370 (Iowa 1990).

12. The officer’s duties under 804.20 are mandatory. See Didonato v. Iowa

Department of Transportation, 456 N.W.2d 367, 370 (Iowa 1990).

13. The statutory right of an arrestee to contact and consult with a family member

is neither more nor less qualified than the right to contact and see an attorney. See State

v. Moorehead, 699 N.W.2d 667 (Iowa 2005).

14. The opportunity to contact and see a family member or attorney must be

provided prior to the officer requiring a decision regarding chemical testing. See State v.

Vietor, 261 N.W.2d 828, 832 (Iowa 1978).

15. When an individual’s statutory right to contact an attorney or family member

prior to deciding whether or not to submit to chemical testing is violated, the test result or

test refusal is inadmissible at the criminal trial. Id.

16. In the instant case the facts are clear; Mr. Renze requested to consult in person

with a family member prior to making a decision regarding chemical testing. The officer

denied Mr. Renze’s request for an in-person consultation. As such, a violation of Iowa

Code section 804.20 occurred and the breath test obtained in this case must be suppressed

as well as all statements obtained from the defendant following the violation of 804.20.

See State v. Moorehead, 669 N.W.2d 667 (Iowa 2005).


4

WHEREFORE defendant, Ross Joseph Renze, respectfully requests hearing on his

Motion and upon hearing, that all evidence obtained as a result of the violation of his

constitutional and statutory rights be suppressed.
