Motor Vehicles – OWI — probable cause — tailgating
Arik Ulwelling appeals a judgment convicting him of operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated, third offense. Ulwelling argues the circuit court erroneously denied his motion to suppress evidence by finding probable cause existed for his initial detention based on a police officer’s perceived violation of Wis. Stat. § 346.14(1). That statute prohibits motor vehicle operators from following another vehicle “more closely than is reasonable and prudent” — commonly known as “tailgating.” We conclude the traffic stop was reasonable because the officer had probable cause to believe a violation of this statute had occurred. We therefore affirm. This opinion will not be published.
