He asked again whether Guevara would consent to a search, and she ultimately consented.

He told her that because she was the driver of the vehicle and in possession of the vehicle, she could consent to the search. While running the passenger's information, Trooper Lewis asked Guevara for her consent to search the Jeep. Trooper Lewis asked the passenger for her identification. Trooper Lewis left Guevara in his car and went to talk to the passenger of the Jeep, Guevara's sister. Trooper Lewis testified that he knew from his experience that smugglers will often use a third-party vehicle or a vehicle with an open title. Trooper Lewis noted that the vehicle had an open title, meaning the owner of the vehicle had signed the seller's portion of the title but had left the buyer's portion blank. Guevara said a friend had helped her borrow the vehicle from its owner, whom Guevara did not know very well. Trooper Lewis also asked if she owned the Jeep, and Guevara said no. Trooper Lewis testified that he knew it was common for drug smugglers to know the city, but not the specific address, of their destination. Guevara later suggested that she needed to call her aunt for the information but had not yet been able to reach her. Guevara was not sure where her aunt lived but said she had written it down on a piece of paper in her car. Guevara stated she was going to Minneapolis to visit her aunt. While processing Guevara's information, Trooper Lewis asked Guevara where she was headed. Trooper Lewis asked Guevara to accompany him back to his car. Trooper Lewis told Guevara that he pulled her over because she was “impeding traffic.” He said that she could stay in the left lane to pass, but that she then needed to get over to the right lane to allow faster moving cars to pass as well.
Eventually, Trooper Lewis stopped the Jeep. Trooper Lewis followed the Jeep and attempted to signal the Jeep to move over to the right lane. Instead, the Jeep continued in the left lane for another five miles, forcing cars behind it to pass on the right. When the Jeep finally passed the semi, the Jeep did not move over to the right lane. Trooper Lewis first noticed the Jeep slowly passing a semi because a line of cars had built up behind the Jeep. Guevara was driving a 1996 Jeep Cherokee eastbound in the left lane of I–80 going sixty-eight miles per hour in a seventy-five mile-per-hour zone.
