Wisconsin Court of Appeals
Criminal
Search and Seizure — probable cause — scope
APPEAL from an order of the circuit court for Sheboygan County: JAMES J. BOLGERT, Judge. Affirmed.
The State of Wisconsin appeals from an order suppressing drug evidence found during the search of the billfold compartment of Ashley L. Eirich’s wallet. The circuit court granted the suppression motion on grounds that the arresting officer’s probable cause to search the vehicle based on the odor of raw marijuana did not extend to a search of the bill compartment of Eirich’s wallet where the officer found Suboxone strips. We affirm.
Affirmed.
