OWI – Reasonable Suspicion
By: Derek Hawkins//August 9, 2016//
Listen to this articleWI Court of Appeals – District III
Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. Thomas M. Ort
Case No.: 2015AP1571-CR; 2015AP1572-CR
Officials: SEIDL, J.
Focus: OWI – Reasonable Suspicion
In these consolidated appeals, Thomas Ort appeals judgments of conviction for third-offense operating while intoxicated (OWI) and for resisting or obstructing an officer. Ort argues the arresting officer did not have reasonable suspicion to conduct the traffic stop of his vehicle, from which both convictions arise, and, as a result, the circuit court erred by denying his motion to suppress evidence in both cases. We disagree and affirm the judgments.
