WI Court of Appeals – District IV
Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. Michael B. Kingsley
Case No.: 2019AP492-CR
Officials: Blanchard, Kloppenburg and Graham, JJ.
Focus: Probable Cause – Suppression of Evidence
Michael Kingsley appeals a judgment of conviction for possession of THC and misdemeanor bail jumping. Kingsley challenges the circuit court’s denial of a motion to suppress. He argues that the police lacked reasonable suspicion to conduct a protective search of his vehicle during the course of a traffic stop. We conclude that there was reasonable suspicion for the search. Accordingly, we affirm.
