Wisconsin Court of Appeals
Criminal
Search and Seizure — search warrants — scope
Gregory J. Holub appeals from a judgment of conviction for possession of drug paraphernalia, Wis. Stat. § 961.573(1). Gregory contends the deputy who found the paraphernalia, along with marijuana, exceeded the scope of the search warrant he executed when he searched the utility room where the contraband was found, a room he accessed from a bathroom attached to the bedroom specified in the warrant. We conclude that the warrant authorized the search of the utility room and therefore affirm. This opinion will not be published.
Dist II, Washington County, Muehlbauer, J., Gundrum, J.
