2010AP2369 Columbia County v. Ederer

Listen to this article

Motor Vehicles
OWI; reasonable suspicion

Fred A. Ederer appeals a judgment of conviction of operating a motor vehicle while under the influence, first offense, contrary to Wis. Stat. § 346.63(1)(a). Ederer was found guilty pursuant to a plea of no contest and received a forfeiture of $677.00, a six-month suspension of license and ordered to undergo an alcohol assessment. Prior to entering his plea, Ederer moved the circuit court for an order excluding evidence obtained as a result of the arrest on the basis that the officer lacked sufficient “reasonable articulate suspicion” to stop his vehicle. The court denied Ederer’s motion and Ederer pled no contest to the charge.

Ederer challenges the denial of his suppression motion. This opinion will not be published.
