Wisconsin Court of Appeals
Criminal
Motor Vehicles — implied consent — probable cause
John J. Uttke appeals from an order of the circuit court affirming his municipal court revocation for refusing to submit to a blood test after he was arrested for operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated. Uttke argues that the officer did not have probable cause to arrest him, and that regardless, his refusal was lawful because it was due to a head injury he sustained when he crashed his motorcycle. We disagree on both counts and affirm his revocation. This opinion will not be published.
