Motor Vehicles – OWI — reasonable suspicion

Andrew K. Wenz appeals from a judgment of conviction entered after he pled guilty to operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of an intoxicant (“OWI”) as a second offense. See Wis. Stat. § 346.63(1)(a). Wenz argues that the police lacked reasonable suspicion to stop his car because the content of the known, reliable informant’s tip was too minimal to permit police to reasonably ascertain whether they were stopping the correct vehicle. We disagree and affirm. This opinion will not be published.
