2010AP938-CR State v. Jones

Listen to this article

Search and Seizure
Stop and detention; confidential informants

Jeffery Royce Jones appeals the judgment convicting him of possession with intent to deliver cocaine (more than one gram but less than five grams), second or subsequent offense, as a party to the crime, contrary to Wis. Stat. ßß 961.41(1m)(cm)1r., 961.48, and 939.05 (2007-08).[1] He also appeals the order denying his motion for postconviction relief.

Jones argues that the State did not sufficiently prove the reliability and credibility of the confidential informant police relied on to justify the investigative stop of his vehicle. In addition, Jones argues that the circuit court erred when it denied his motion seeking disclosure of the identity of the confidential informant.

We disagree and therefore affirm. This opinion will not be published.
