WI Court of Appeals – District II
Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. Courtney L. Carney
Case No.: 2016AP175-CR; 2016AP176
Officials: Gundrum, J.
Focus: Motion to Suppress – Reasonable Suspicion
Courtney L. Carney appeals from his convictions for operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of an intoxicant and refusing a chemical test of his blood, following the circuit court’s denial of his motion to suppress evidence related to a seizure. He argues the police officer lacked reasonable suspicion to seize/detain him—which detention led to evidence resulting in his convictions—and, therefore, the circuit court erred in denying his suppression motion. We conclude the court did not err and affirm.
