Search and Seizure
Stop and detention; reasonable suspicion

Steve Will appeals the judgment of conviction for operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated (OWI), third offense, in violation of Wis. Stat. § 346.63(1)(a). He contends that a sheriff's deputy who was looking for suspects from a nearby marijuana growing operation did not have reasonable suspicion to stop his vehicle, and therefore the circuit court erred in denying his motion to suppress evidence. For the reasons we explain below, we conclude that under the totality of the circumstances the deputy had reasonable suspicion to stop Will's vehicle.

Accordingly, the court properly denied the motion to suppress, and we affirm the judgment of conviction. This opinion will not be published.
