Motor Vehicles – OWI — arrest

Dean Blatterman appeals a judgment of conviction for operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated in violation of Wis. Stat. § 346.63(1)(a). Blatterman argues that the circuit court erred in denying his motion to suppress evidence of intoxication because, he asserts, the police subjected him to a “de facto” arrest that was unsupported by probable cause when they transported him outside the vicinity of the original stop. I conclude that Blatterman was transported outside the vicinity of the stop, and I therefore reverse. Judgment reversed and cause remanded. This opinion will not be published.
