Motor Vehicles – OWI — reasonable suspicion — implied consent

Steven Seward appeals the judgment finding him guilty of operating while intoxicated and operating with a prohibited alcohol concentration (PAC) in violation of Wis. Stat. § 346.63(1)(a) and 346.63(1)(b). Seward argues that the circuit court erred in: (1) finding that the officer had reasonable suspicion to conduct a traffic stop; and (2) finding that the officer complied with the implied consent law, and affording the City the evidentiary benefits of automatic admissibility and the statutory presumption of intoxication. I conclude that the circuit court did not err in finding that the officer had reasonable suspicion to conduct a traffic stop and in finding that the officer complied with the implied consent law. Accordingly, I affirm the judgment. This opinion will not be published.
