An agent with Iowa’s Division of Criminal Investigation allegedly placed a warrantless GeoFence using AI technology around athletics facilities at Iowa and Iowa State universities designed to monitor athletes’ gambling habits, according to a discovery motion filed in Story County District Court on Monday.
In a six-page filing first reported by WHO-TV and obtained by The Athletic, Des Moines attorney Van Plumb claims DCI special agent Brian Sanger seized gambling information without probable cause. Plumb represents former Iowa State defensive lineman Isaiah Lee, who allegedly bet against the Cyclones in a 2021 football game. Lee’s trial for tampering with records — an aggravated misdemeanor — is set for March 5.
