Supreme Court of Iowa

State of Iowa v. Artell Jamario Young

December 20, 2024

Summary

The court held that Iowa constitutional standards do not govern a search conducted entirely by federal probation officers under federal authority when state and local officials neither knew of nor participated in the search. Because the search complied with federal law and was not undertaken to evade Iowa law, the evidence was admissible in the state prosecution. The court therefore affirmed Young’s convictions and sentence.
