Motor Vehicles – OWI — warrantless blood draws — good faith exception
Travis Daniel Thom appeals a judgment convicting him of one count of operating with a prohibited alcohol concentration (PAC) — second offense. Thom argues the circuit court erred by denying his suppression motions. First, he argues his vehicle was unlawfully stopped without reasonable suspicion. Second, he argues the circuit court improperly applied the good faith exception to the exclusionary rule when it refused to suppress the results of a warrantless blood draw. We reject Thom’s arguments and affirm. This opinion will not be published.
