Iowa court upholds roadblock ruling on turning around checks
Appeals court says motorists turning around to avoid a checkpoint may be legally stopped only if a warning sign precedes the check. Keith Hemmover was stopped after backing up and heading away, facing charges that included drunken driving and child endangerment. The court also affirmed guilty pleas of Ronald Steenhoek to stalking and extortion with five year sentences and a $25,000 bond.
