Motor Vehicles – OWI — stop and detention — community caretaker doctrine

Joshua Quisling appeals a judgment of the circuit court finding him guilty of first offense operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated pursuant to Wis. Stat. § 346.63(1)(a). Quisling argues that the circuit court erred when it concluded that the stop of the vehicle Quisling was driving was justified under the community caretaker doctrine and, therefore, the circuit court erred in denying Quisling’s motion to suppress evidence of intoxication acquired after the stop. I disagree, and affirm the circuit court. This opinion will not be published.
