Motor Vehicles – OWI – sentencing — mandatory minimums

Clayton W. Williams appeals from a judgment of conviction for operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of an intoxicant (OWI), seventh offense, contrary to Wis. Stat. §346.65(2)(g)2 (2011-12). Williams argues that the circuit court erred in sentencing him to imprisonment because the court was operating under the mistaken belief that § 346.65(2)(am)6. mandates that a defendant be sentenced to a minimum of three years’ initial confinement. We reverse. Not recommended for publication in the official reports.
