Criminal Procedure
Self-representation

Richard Wusterbarth appeals his conviction for obstructing an officer. He asserts the criminal complaint was insufficient to support his obstructing charge, the circuit court erred in permitting him to proceed pro se, there was insufficient evidence presented at trial, and a limiting and a substantive instruction given to the jury were inappropriate. We conclude the complaint was sufficient in this case. However, we also conclude the circuit court erred by permitting Wusterbarth to proceed pro se; therefore, we reverse and remand for a new trial. This opinion will not be published.
