Motor Vehicles
OWI; alternative tests
Michael Smith appeals the order denying his motion to suppress evidence and the judgment of conviction for operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of an intoxicant (OWI) and operating a motor vehicle with a prohibited alcohol concentration (PAC), in violation of Wis. Stat. § 346.63(1)(a) and (b). Smith contends that the results of his chemical breath test should have been suppressed because police violated § 343.305(5)(a) by failing to give him a blood test after the breath test, despite his request that he be given a blood test. We conclude the circuit court properly denied Smith’s motion because Smith did not request an additional test. Accordingly, we affirm. This opinion will not be published.
