Wisconsin Court of Appeals
Criminal
Motor Vehicles – OWI — reasonable suspicion — littering
The State of Wisconsin appeals from an order of the circuit court granting Iverson’s motion to suppress evidence and dismiss charges against him for first offense operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated and driving with a prohibited alcohol concentration. Iverson moved to suppress evidence gathered after his vehicle was stopped by Wisconsin State Patrol Trooper Michael Larsen. The circuit court determined that Trooper Larsen lacked sufficient reasonable suspicion to stop Iverson and granted Iverson’s motion. I affirm, although upon different reasoning than employed by the circuit court. This opinion will not be published.
