Motor Vehicles
OWI; reasonable suspicion

John D. Prinsen appeals his conviction for operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated and driving with a prohibited alcohol concentration. Prinsen was pulled over after another driver called 911 to report that Prinsen was driving in the wrong direction on a highway. Prinsen alleges that the individual who called 911 was not a reliable informant such that the arresting officer should not have relied on the dispatch report in pulling over Prinsen. We reject Prinsen’s argument and affirm his conviction. This opinion will not be published.
