01-2358-CR State v. Ruetten

By: dmc-admin//April 29, 2002//

Listen to this article

The State appeals the order of the circuit court granting the motion of Natasha Ruetten to suppress evidence obtained in a search of her apartment pursuant to a search warrant. As a result of that evidence, Ruetten was charged with possession of tetrahydrocannabinols (THC) contrary to Wis. Stat. §§ 961.41(3g)(e) and 961.14(4)(t), and possession of drug paraphernalia contrary to Wis. Stat. § 961.573(1), both as a party to the crime. We conclude the warrant was supported by probable cause to believe there was evidence of a crime in her apartment.

We therefore reverse and remand for further proceedings.

This opinion will not be published.

Dist IV, Richland County, Leineweber, J., Vergeront, J.
