Motor Vehicles
OWI; probable cause
Herbert Hamilton appeals the judgment of conviction for operating a motor vehicle while under the influence, fourth offense, in violation of WIS. STAT. § 346.63(1)(a). He contends there was no probable cause to administer the preliminary breath screening test (PBT), and the circuit court therefore erred in denying his motion to suppress evidence. We conclude there was probable cause and we affirm. This opinion will not be published.
