Wisconsin Court of Appeals
Criminal
Motor Vehicles – OWI — probable cause
Deborah Salzwedel appeals the judgment of conviction for third-offense operating a motor vehicle with a prohibited alcohol concentration in violation of Wis. Stat. § 346.63(1)(b). Salzwedel argues that the circuit court erred in denying her motion to suppress evidence because: (1) the officer did not have probable cause for the stop and (2) this was not an investigatory stop supported by reasonable suspicion. I conclude that the circuit court did not err in finding that there was probable cause for the stop and, therefore, I affirm the denial of the motion to suppress evidence. This opinion will not be published.
