Wisconsin Court of Appeals
Criminal
Sentencing — repeater enhancements — bifurcation
Eric Alston appeals an order modifying the sentences imposed by the circuit court following Alston’s convictions for one count of criminal damage to property in violation of Wis. Stat. § 943.01(1), and two counts of battery in violation of Wis. Stat. § 940.19(1). Alston was convicted of all three charges as a repeater, in violation of Wis. Stat. § 939.62(1)(a), and the court therefore applied a penalty enhancer to Alston’s sentences. This opinion will not be published.
