Listen to this articleWI Court of Appeals – District III
Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. Dustin R. Willette
Case No.: 2017AP888
Officials: SEIDL, J.
Focus: OWI – Probable Cause
Dustin Willette appeals an order revoking his vehicle operating privilege based on his refusal to submit to chemical testing of his blood, contrary to WIS. STAT. § 343.305(9)(a). Willette raises two issues on appeal: (1) whether the arresting officer lacked probable cause to believe Willette was operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated (OWI); and (2) whether Willette improperly refused an officer’s request for a chemical test of his blood. The circuit court answered both questions against Willette. We affirm.
