Scott Pittman appeals a jury verdict finding him guilty of operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated. Pittman contends that the trial court erred by excluding testimony related to his reasons for refusing to submit to a chemical test for alcohol. We conclude that even if we were to assume that the challenged testimony were admissible, the circuit court’s decision to exclude it is harmless error.

Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of conviction and the circuit court’s denial of Pittman’s motion for a new trial.

This opinion will not be published.

Dist IV, Portage County, Flugaur, J., Roggensack, J.

Attorneys:

For Appellant: Sandra J. Zenor, Wisconsin Rapids

For Respondent: Scott B. Roberts, Stevens Point
