Wisconsin Court of Appeals
Criminal
Motor Vehicles – OWI — reasonable suspicion
Sherri A. Wittrock appeals from a judgment of conviction for operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of an intoxicant (OWI), fourth offense. Wittrock contends that the State failed to provide sufficient facts justifying the initial stop of her vehicle and, therefore, the circuit court erred in denying her motion to suppress evidence. We conclude that the officer, relying on the collective knowledge of the police department at the time of the initial stop, had the requisite reasonable suspicion. We therefore affirm the judgment. This opinion will not be published.
