WI Court of Appeals – District III
Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. Brian L. Zieglmeier
Case No.: 2016AP1815-CR
Officials: Hruz, J.
Focus: Motion to Suppress
Brian Zieglmeier appeals a judgment of conviction for third-offense operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated (OWI). He argues the circuit court erred in denying his motion to suppress evidence obtained as the result of an extension of a traffic stop. We disagree, concluding law enforcement had reasonable suspicion to extend the traffic stop in order to perform field sobriety tests, such that Zieglmeier’s constitutional rights were not violated. Accordingly, we affirm.
