Listen to this articleMotor Vehicles – OWI — reasonable suspicion — fresh pursuit
Randall Lee Sugden appeals a judgment of conviction for operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated, second offense, contrary to Wis. Stat. §§ 346.63(1)(a), 346.65(2)(am)2. Sugden argues that a Sauk County deputy sheriff exceeded his authority in stopping him and placing him under arrest in Richland County. We conclude that: (1) the initial stop was justified because the deputy sheriff was acting in fresh pursuit of Sugden under Wis. Stat. § 175.40(2); and (2) the brief detention was justified based on additional factors that gave rise to a reasonable suspicion that Sugden was operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated. Accordingly, we affirm. This opinion will not be published.
