Motor Vehicles
OWI; stop and detention; mistake of law
George Greenwood appeals his conviction for operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of an intoxicant as a second offense. He challenges the denial of his motion to suppress evidence obtained as the result of a traffic stop. He argues that the stop was invalid because it was based on a mistake of law. He also asserts that the circuit court made clearly erroneous findings of fact. I disagree and affirm. This opinion will not be published.
