Search and Seizure — dog sniffs; reliability

Matthew White appeals a judgment convicting him on his no contest pleas of possession of methamphetamine and misdemeanor bail jumping. Pursuant to Wis. Stat. § 971.31(10), he challenges the circuit court’s order denying his motion to suppress evidence seized from a car White was using at the time of arrest. White contends the evidence should have been suppressed because the search was based on an unreliable dog sniff for the presence of narcotics. Because the evidence supports the circuit court’s finding that the State proved all of the factors necessary to establish probable cause based on the dog sniff, we affirm the judgment. This opinion will not be published.
