Motor Vehicles – OWI — reasonable suspicion

Justin P. Brandl appeals from a judgment of conviction for a third offense of operating a motor vehicle while under the influence (OWI) after the trial court denied his motion to suppress evidence. Brandl argues that the arresting officer did not have reasonable suspicion to justify an investigatory stop, but the circuit court found that reasonable suspicion was shown by the officer’s observations of Brandl’s motorcycle crossing over the fog line and nearly colliding with the motorcycle riding beside him. We affirm. This opinion will not be published.
