Motor Vehicles
OWI; blood tests
Craig Erickson appeals from a judgment of conviction for operating a motor vehicle while revoked, second offense, and operating with a prohibited blood alcohol content (PAC), fourth offense. Erickson contends that the trial court erred when it allowed the admission of the blood test result into evidence because the person who drew his blood was not qualified to do so under Wis. Stat. § 343.305(5)(b). We reject Erickson’s argument. The testimony at trial was sufficient to demonstrate that the blood draw complied with the requirements of § 343.305(5)(b). We affirm. This opinion will not be published.
