WI Court of Appeals – District I
Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. Damon Henri Evans, II
Case No.: 2017AP1147-CR
Officials: Stark, P.J., Hruz and Seidl, JJ.
Focus: Probable Cause
Damon Evans challenges the circuit court’s denial of his motion to suppress heroin, cocaine and marijuana found on him during a traffic stop. He also challenges the denial of postconviction relief and the denial of a motion for reconsideration. Evans raises several arguments attempting to show that police officer testimony describing the stop was “inherently not credible.” From this premise, Evans urges this court to conclude that there was no valid basis for the stop, and that the officers conducted an illegal strip search. We reject Evans’ arguments and affirm.
