WI Court of Appeals – District III
Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. Janaya L. Moss
Case No.: 2016AP1856-CR
Officials: SEIDL, J.
Focus: Court Error – Denial of Motion to Suppress Evidence
Janaya Moss appeals a judgment of conviction for misdemeanor possession of cocaine. Moss challenges the circuit court’s order denying her motion to suppress evidence, arguing that evidence obtained during a warrantless search of her wallet was constitutionally unreasonable. We conclude Moss’s suppression motion was properly denied because the law enforcement officer conducted a valid identification search of Moss’s wallet. Accordingly, we affirm.
