WI Court of Appeals – District III

Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. DeEldran L. Jackson

Case No.: 2015AP2141-CR

Officials: Stark, P.J., Hruz and Seidl, JJ.

Focus: Court Error

DeEldran Jackson appeals a judgment convicting him of criminal damage to property, false imprisonment, disorderly conduct and intimidation of a victim. The victim called 911 to report the crimes. Jackson contends the circuit court erroneously exercised its discretion when it denied his request to present other acts evidence consisting of a citation charging the victim with misuse of 911 on an unrelated incident and police reports from that earlier incident. Because we conclude the circuit court properly exercised its discretion, we affirm the judgment.
