Listen to this articleWI Court of Appeals – District I
Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. Antonio D. Cotton
Case No.: 2018AP1136-CR
Officials: Kessler, P.J., Kloppenburg and Dugan, JJ.
Focus: Probable Cause
Antonio Cotton appeals a circuit court judgment convicting him of possession of a firearm by a felon and possession of cocaine with intent to deliver. Cotton argues that the affidavit in support of the warrant used to search an apartment he occupied failed to establish probable cause for the search. We disagree and conclude that the affidavit was sufficient. Cotton also argues that police exceeded the scope of the warrant by searching a truck without reason to believe the truck was associated with Cotton. We conclude that the legality of the truck search is moot and, therefore, do not address the merits of that issue. We affirm.
