Motor Vehicles – OWI – reasonable suspicion

APPEAL from a judgment of the circuit court for Washington County: JAMES G. POUROS, Judge. Affirmed.

In this eighth-offense operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated (OWI) case, Peter J. Long argues that his stop and arrest were unconstitutional because
the police relied on unverified claims of an anonymous informant, the facts known by the police were insufficient to justify Long’s stop, and the police
conduct in executing the stop was “overbearing and harassing,” turning the stop into an arrest for which the police did not have probable cause. We
conclude that the police had reasonable suspicion to stop Long and affirm.
