Wisconsin Court of Appeals
Criminal
Motor Vehicles – OWI — probable cause
Matthew Hoff, Jr., appeals a judgment of conviction, entered on a jury verdict, for operating with a controlled substance, as a fourth offense. He argues the circuit court erred by denying his suppression motion because the officer did not have probable cause to arrest him. He also contends the circuit court violated his confrontation right by allowing the State Laboratory of Hygiene supervisor to testify in lieu of the analysts who performed the physical tests on his blood. We affirm. This opinion will not be published.
Dist III, St. Croix County, Needham, J., Mangerson, J.
Attorneys: For Appellant: Waterman, R. Michael, Hudson; For Respondent: Johnson, Eric G., Hudson; Weber, Gregory M., Madison; Miller, Steven L., River Falls
