Search and Seizure — reasonable suspicion

Chonsea King appeals a judgment of conviction for one count of possession of heroin with the intent to deliver, contrary to Wis. Stat. § 961.41(1m)(d)3. (2011-12).[1] King contends that all evidence against him was obtained pursuant to an illegal seizure and that the circuit court erred in denying his motion to suppress that evidence. We conclude that there was no reasonable suspicion to detain King at the time King was seized and that the circuit court should have granted King’s motion to suppress. Accordingly, we reverse the judgment of conviction. Not recommended for publication in the official reports.
