WI Court of Appeals – District IV

Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. Michael J. Popple

Case No.: 2017AP1525-CR

Officials: Blanchard, Kloppenburg and Fitzpatrick, JJ.

Focus: Motion to Suppress Evidence Denied

Michael J. Popple appeals a judgment that convicted him of a second or subsequent offense of manufacturing 1000-2500 grams of THC.
