Listen to this article

Clinton Donahue appeals from a judgment convicting him of possessing THC, as a second offense. He challenges the denial of a suppression motion, claiming that the police lacked reasonable suspicion to search his car for weapons and that, even if a search was justified, the police exceeded the permissible scope of that search by reaching into the pockets of a jacket on the front seat of the car. We conclude that the weapons search was reasonable under the circumstances and that Donahue waived any objection to the scope of the search by failing to raise that argument before the circuit court.

We therefore affirm.

This opinion will not be published.

Dist IV, Wood County, Brennan, J., Per Curiam

Attorneys:

For Appellant: Margaret A. Maroney, Madison

For Respondent: Stephen W. Kleinmaier, Madison
