Motion to Suppress – Reasonable Suspicion

2014AP332 Columbia County v. Jessica N. Johnson

Jessica Johnson appeals a judgment of conviction and the order denying her motion to suppress evidence arising out of a traffic stop. After a jury trial, Johnson was found guilty of operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated first offense and operating a motor vehicle with a prohibited alcohol concentration. Johnson argues that the arresting officer did not have the requisite reasonable suspicion to extend her detention for field sobriety testing and, therefore, the circuit court erred in denying her motion to suppress the test results and subsequent evidence of intoxication. For the reasons set forth below, I reject Johnson’s argument and affirm.

Decision

Affirmed.
