WI Court of Appeals – District II
Case Name: City of West Bend v. Erik J. Wille
Case No.: 2018AP151
Officials: REILLY, P.J.
Focus: OWI – Unlawful-stop Claim
Erik J. Wille appeals his conviction for operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of an intoxicant (OWI) and operating a motor vehicle with a prohibited alcohol concentration (PAC). Wille argues that City of West Bend police officer Timothy Behagen did not have reasonable suspicion to stop his vehicle in the drive-thru lane of Wendy’s restaurant following a report from the manager of Wendy’s that Wille and his passenger had open beers in their vehicle. As reasonable suspicion existed, we affirm.
