Michael Stella appeals the judgment convicting him of operating while intoxicated (3rd offense). He also appeals from the order denying his motion to suppress.
Stella argues that the trial court erred in denying his motion challenging the stop of his vehicle.
Because this court is satisfied that the trial court correctly determined that the State had met its burden of proof that the stop by the Oak Creek police was reasonable, as the officer who stopped Stella’s car did so after witnessing Stella violate several traffic laws, this court affirms.
This opinion will not be published.
Dist I, Milwaukee County, Wagner, Ashley, JJ., Curley, J.
Attorneys:
For Appellant: Robert J. Bauman, Milwaukee
For Respondent: Robert D. Donohoo, Milwaukee; John S. Rusch, Milwaukee
