2009AP1779 County of Milwaukee v. Manske

Listen to this article

Motor Vehicles
OWI; reasonable suspicion; probable cause

Caleb L. Manske appeals from the judgment of conviction entered by the trial court after a six-person jury found him guilty of violating the Milwaukee County ordinance making it unlawful to operate a motor vehicle with a prohibited alcohol concentration, first offense, contrary to Wis. Stat. § 346.63(1)(b) (2007-08). On appeal, Manske first argues that the trial court erred in denying his motion to suppress evidence because the sheriff's detective who arrested him did not have reasonable suspicion to initiate a traffic stop. Next, Manske submits that the trial court erred when it found that there was probable cause to arrest Manske for operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of an intoxicant. Because there was reasonable suspicion to initiate a traffic stop of Manske's pickup truck and probable cause for the arrest, this court affirms. This opinion will not be published.
