WI Court of Appeals – District IV
Case Name: County of Dodge v. Alexis N. Unser
Case No.: 2016AP2172
Officials: Lundsten, J.
Focus: OWI – Suppression of Evidence
Alexis Unser appeals the circuit court’s judgment convicting her of operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of an intoxicant. During the stop that led to this charge, the officer transported Unser to another location, about six miles away from the initial stop, in order to perform field sobriety tests. Unser argues that she was unlawfully transported outside the vicinity of the stop and, on that basis, seeks suppression of evidence and reversal of her conviction. I reject Unser’s argument, and affirm.
