Wisconsin Court of Appeals
Criminal
Search and Seizure – Protective searches
Ronald Crockett appeals from judgments convicting him of possession with intent to deliver non-narcotics and possession of a controlled substance. On appeal, Crockett challenges the circuit court’s refusal to suppress drug evidence obtained as a result of a protective search for weapons during an investigative stop. We conclude that the police officer had reasonable suspicion to make an investigative or Terry stop of Crockett and to conduct a protective search of Crockett for a weapon. Therefore, we affirm. This opinion will not be published.
