WI Court of Appeals – District IV

Case Name: Village of McFarland v. Dale R. Meyer

Case No.: 2018AP2130

Officials: LUNDSTEN, P.J.

Focus: OWI – Refusal of Blood Test

Dale Meyer appeals the circuit court’s judgment, entered following a jury trial, convicting him of operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of an intoxicant as a first offense and improper stop at a stop sign. He also challenges an order finding that he unreasonably refused to submit to blood alcohol testing. As best I can tell, Meyer argues that the judgment of conviction and refusal order should both be vacated because, in both proceedings, the attorney for the Village of McFarland showed an altered version of the squad car video of the stop. I disagree and affirm.
