Motor Vehicles – OWI — reasonable suspicion

Wisconsin Court of Appeals

Criminal

Motor Vehicles – OWI — reasonable suspicion

Michael Mings appeals from a judgment of conviction for operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of an intoxicant (OWI), fourth offense. He contends that the circuit court erred in denying his motion to suppress evidence because the arresting officer did not possess the reasonable suspicion necessary to conduct an investigatory stop of his vehicle. We reject Mings’ argument. We conclude that, under the totality of circumstances, the officer had reasonable suspicion to justify the stop. We uphold the circuit court order denying Mings’ motion to suppress. We affirm the judgment. This opinion will not be published.
