Motor Vehicles – OWI — reasonable suspicion

The Village of DeForest appeals judgments of the circuit court dismissing charges against Lynn Braun, one for operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of an intoxicant, contrary to Wis. Stat. § 346.63(1)(a), and one for operating a motor vehicle with a prohibited alcohol content, contrary to § 346.63(1)(b), following the entry of orders suppressing evidence obtained from the traffic stop of Lynn Braun’s vehicle. DeForest contends that reasonable suspicion existed to stop Braun’s vehicle and, therefore, the circuit court erred in granting Braun’s motion to suppress. This opinion will not be published.
