WI Court of Appeals – District IV

Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. Stephen M. Kokesh

Case No.: 2015AP1650

Officials: KLOPPENBURG, P.J.

Focus: OWI – Motion to Suppress

Stephen Kokesh appeals the judgment of conviction for operating while intoxicated first offense in violation of WIS. STAT. § 346.63(1)(a). Kokesh argues that the circuit court erred in denying his motion to suppress evidence because, according to Kokesh, the arresting officer did not have reasonable suspicion to conduct a traffic stop. I conclude that the traffic stop was supported by reasonable suspicion and, therefore, the circuit court did not err in denying the motion to suppress evidence. Accordingly, I affirm the judgment.
