Suppression of Evidence – Blood Test
By: Derek Hawkins//May 23, 2018//
Listen to this articleWI Court of Appeals – District IV
Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. Eldon Arthur Holt
Case No.: 2017AP1375-CR
Officials: Lundsten, P.J., Blanchard and Kloppenburg, JJ.
Focus: Suppression of Evidence – Blood Test
Eldon Arthur Holt appeals a judgment of conviction for operating with a prohibited blood alcohol concentration (PAC) as a seventh, eighth, or ninth offense. Holt contends that the results of his blood test should have been suppressed because the blood draw was conducted in violation of Holt’s Fourth Amendment rights. Specifically, Holt contends that: (1) police lacked reasonable suspicion to extend the traffic stop by asking whether Holt had been drinking; and (2) police lacked probable cause to arrest Holt for PAC. We reject Holt’s Fourth Amendment arguments and affirm.
