Wisconsin Court of Appeals
Criminal
Motor Vehicles – OWI — reasonable suspicion
Katrina Shurpit appeals her convictions on citations for operating a motor vehicle with a prohibited alcohol concentration and operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of an intoxicant. Her only challenge to her convictions is a challenge to the investigative stop that led to them. Shurpit argues that the “collective knowledge” doctrine should be applied in her favor to impute certain information to the police officer who stopped her. She also argues that, even if the doctrine is not applied, the circuit court erred in concluding that there was reasonable suspicion for the stop. Shurpit’s arguments rejected. Affirmed. This opinion will not be published.
