United States Eighth Circuit

Conviction and sentence for attempting to manufacture methamphetamine after a prior conviction for drug-related offenses is affirmed over defendant's claims that the district court erred by: 1) admitting evidence of other criminal conduct that was irrelevant to the offenses in question; and 2) finding him a career offender under U.S.S.G. section 4B1.1 because his second Iowa conviction for OWI constituted a crime of violence under U.S.S.G. section 4B1.2.
