WI Court of Appeals – District II

Case Name: Town of Waterford v. Christopher Pye

Case No.: 2019AP737

Officials: NEUBAUER, C.J.

Focus: OWI – Equitable Tolling

Christopher Pye appeals from an order equitably tolling the two-year statute of limitations for the offense of an operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated (OWI) (first offense), WIS. STAT. § 346.63(1)(a). Because the two-year statute of limitations had expired, rendering the municipal court without jurisdiction, we reverse the order and remand the cause.
