Motor Vehicles – OWI — warrantless entry

Jeremy Florin appeals his convictions for operating a vehicle while under the influence of an intoxicant and operating a vehicle with a prohibited alcohol concentration, both as first offenses. Florin argues that the circuit court erred when it denied his motion to suppress evidence of his intoxication. Florin asserts that suppression was warranted because a police officer entered his garage and knocked on a door without a warrant or sufficient justification. I agree with the circuit court that the circumstances do not merit suppression, and affirm. This opinion will not be published.
