Bradley Sexton appeals a judgment convicting him of operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated, and operating a vehicle with a prohibited blood alcohol concentration. Sexton argues that the trial court erred by not exercising its discretion when it ruled that Sexton’s sixteen prior convictions were admissible for impeachment purposes pursuant to Wis. Stat. sec. 906.09. This court concludes that the court erred when it proceeded with a misapprehension of the law and failed to apply the appropriate factors.

Accordingly, this court reverses the judgment and remands for a new trial.

This opinion will not be published.

Dist III, Shawano County, Schmidt, J., Hoover, P.J.
